Paula Deens Kickin Chicken Recipe 415

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute, this will allow the flour to cook just a little before adding the other ingredients. Add the sour cream and milk, and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add all but ½ cup of the cheese. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta. Stir together, then layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the casserole and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove the casserole and let it sit for about 15 minutes prior to serving.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from chicken thighs. Sprinkle legs & thighs with House Seasoning. Place in large ziploc bag. Add syrup, vinegar, red pepper & oil. Seal bag and shake to mix ingredients. Chill 3-8 hrs. Preheat oven to 350. Remove chicken from marinade. In large skillet, cook chicken over med-high heat 2-3 min. per side. Place skin side up in baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake 45 min; uncover and bake 20 min. more. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, toss together the noodles, soup, broth, and sherry.
• Add the chicken, 2 cups of cheese, almonds, pimento, mushrooms, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9x2-inch casserole and top with the remaining cup of cheese.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
• Note: When I make this I make it without the almonds but I kept them in the recipe as this is how Paula made it on her show.
