I wanted something different to serve my family (visiting) using chicken. I made this up. I cooked it in a pressure cooker. But the chicken could be boiled for long enough to cook the chicken. Then make the casserole.
This could also be made in a crock pot. Just put the raw chicken in, cover with the "sauce" & cheese & cook for several hours. Maybe put the cheese on later. ??

Smothered Chicken dish

Recipe By : BCW
Serving Size : 5 Categories : main dish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- -------- --------------------------------
2 Tbsps onion flakes -- can use fresh chopped
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 Tbsp parsley, freeze-dried
1/2 tsp garlic powder -- I think I used 3/4 tsp
1/2 tsp Creole seasoning
1/4 tsp paprika
2 Tbsps buttermilk, dried -- (optional)
6 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/8 cup cream
3/8 cup water -- I just added water to the cream to make 1/2 cup

10 chicken thighs -- I used frozen - put them in the pressure cooker frozen
1 cup shredded Co-Jack cheese -- use cheese of your choice

I put the frozen chicken thighs in the pressure cooker with 2 cups water. Pressured at 15 pounds for 30 min. When finished cool quickly and transfer the chicken to a casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350 when this is about done.

Mix the dry ingredients, then add the Mayo, cream/water and blend well the stick blender works well for this.

Sprinkle with creole seasoning. Pour desired amount over the chicken. I used about half. The rest makes good salad dressing.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese of your choice. I used Cheddar/Monteray Jack.
Bake for about 10-20 minutes. Basically long enough to thicken the sauce and lightly brown the cheese.

I served 6 people with this. The servings weren't really large. So maybe count on 4. If you want to make more, just add more chicken, and pour on more sauce. Also remember that not all the sauce was used, but it was counted in the carb count. So carb count is really a little less.

NOTES : You could actually use bottled Ranch dressing & mix in the Mayo instead of the dry ingredients cream & water. Also CC milk (or reg milk for those not low carbing) would work
instead of the cream & water.

This is one I will have to try. It sounds really good. Anything with cream, cheese, onions and spices can't be bad.

Thanks for the "invention"

Oh no,,,,,, I just realized I left a major ingredient out of the recipe. It should have about 6oz cream cheese (softened) in the "sauce" part. (One reason it needed to be "blended".
I'll fix the recipe above. But if you already have it saved or printed off you'll need to add that in.
I think it would still be good, but I do think it will be better with it!


Mark, I think you'll like it. It was quite good. I had some very picky eaters at the table, and they all liked it.

Hope you like it. It was yummy - I thought & my daughter took the recipe home with her.

I love onions, but.... really couldn't even taste them. They are part of ranch dressing recipes. But I'm sure it will still be good without them.

I kinda combined several recipes to come up with this one.

If I hadn't had some who didn't like mushrooms, I'd probably have tossed some of them in too. I'll probably add them sometimes when mushroom haters aren't eating it. I think that will be very good!

Billie, THANK YOU! Another crock pot recipe to add, can't wait to try it, and we both really like all kinds of mushrooms.

You're welcome. Hope ya like it. I think it will be great with mushrooms!
It is actually very similar to Dinah's French Onion/Mushroom chicken. Of course the way I made it yesterday, and as it was posted here it didn't have the mushrooms, so gave it more of a different flavor. I think it will be good either way.

Billie, your timing was perfect. I was actually looking for this post when you bumped it. I plan to try it tomorrow. Had planned to do it today but I ran out of time. Bought a new crockpot and remembered you could do this recipe in one. Thanks, Donna

[crazywoman]

Great Donna. I can't remember if I ever said or not, but you won't need near as much water if you are doing this in a crockpot. The water was required for the pressure cooker, and I decided when I made this the other night that I didn't even need that much in it. I think I used about 1 1/4 cups this time. (Used the liquid the next night to make egg drop soup.)
I'm not even sure if you would need to add any water in the crock pot. The liquids in the "dressing" might be enough. But I definitely would add very much if any in the crock pot or the "sauce" will be too thin.

Thanks, Billie. I have planned to put it on when I leave for work in the morning. I might have added too much water without you note. Thanks, Donna
