Loaded Chicken & Potato Casserole | PALEO, Whole30
From: Jessie B. @ www.justjessieb.com/2017/11/loaded-chicken-potato-casserole-paleo.html?m=1
I hope you enjoy this easy casserole that I based off of a "loaded potato" idea- but with free range chicken for some added bulk & protein. It has all the smoky flavors I crave, with the savory deliciousness of chopped garlic & onion, roasted broccoli, and crispy bacon.
Topped with a drizzle of your favorite compliant creamy sauce or ranch dressing, you've got a delicious Whole30 recipe to get you through any comfort food craving.
Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1" cubes
2 to 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped
1 lb gold potatoes, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 white onion, sliced then roughly chopped
5 to 6 garlic cloves, quartered
For the sauce
1/3 cup olive or avocado oil
2 Tbsp compliant hot sauce
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian or other herb blend
For garnish
6 slices compliant bacon (make sure it's sugar free!)
1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced
"Spicy Cream Sauce"
For the Sauce
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg (optional, for binding)
1 to 2 tsp compliant hot sauce
1/2 tsp each: garlic powder, dried chives
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
salt & pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
SPICY CREAM SAUCE
Add all of the "sauce" ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Pulse until well combined and slightly thickened.
Transfer to a jar or bowl, and refrigerate until it firms up.
Casserole
In a large bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until well combined.
Add the potatoes and white onion to the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking dish.
Drizzle with about 1/2 of your sauce, stir to combine, then transfer to the oven.
Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a pan and set aside on paper towels to drain.
Using the rendered bacon fat, brown the chicken cubes over medium high heat (don't worry about cooking it through).
Add the browned chicken to the large bowl with the remaining sauce.
Add the broccoli, garlic, and half of the green onions, and stir to coat.
Once the potatoes are done, pour the chicken and broccoli mixture over top.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is lightly browned and chicken is cooked through.
Top the casserole with crumbled bacon and the remaining half of green onions.
Drizzle with "Spicy Cream Sauce", or a compliant ranch dressing.
Serve hot!
