Chicken Casserole w/Andouille

A yummy stovetop chicken casserole.
I like to make mine in a cast-iron dutch oven, but the colors would be brighter if you use an enameled dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c + 1 tbs AP flour
  • 1 tbs poultry seasoning
  • 2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 c panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 c grated parmesan
  • 1 tbs melted butter
  • 3 tbs oil
  • 6 oz andouille
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 bunch of medium asparagus
  • 1 1/2 c chicken stock
  • 1/2 c dairy
  • 3 tbs green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbs parsley, chopped fine
  • 1 tbs tarragon, chopped fine
  • Crostinis

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. In a ziptop bag, add 1/4 c AP flour and 1 1/2 tsp of the Poultry seasoning and mix it up.
  3. Cut the chicken into 2 in pieces or so (I like to use scissors for this).
  4. Toss the chicken in the bag to coat, and shake off any excess breading.
  5. Reserve the excess flour, adding the extra 1 tbs of flour to the reserve.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, butter, cheese, and remaining seasoning.
  7. Add the oil to your casserole, and heat over medium high heat.
  8. Brown the chicken on each side, in batches (one batch takes about 5 minutes, I can usually get done in three batches in a 12 in casserole).
  9. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  10. Meanwhile, skin and trim the asparagus.
  11. Boil in a pot of salty water for about 8 minutes, until soft.
  12. Remove from the water and cut into 1 or two inch pieces.
  13. In the casserole, add the sausage (chopped into 1/2 in pieces), and cook, stirring, until browned (about 4 minutes).
  14. Add the onions, garlic, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes.
  15. Stir in the reserved flour and cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
  16. Add the chicken, asparagus, stock, dairy, green onions, parsley, and tarragon.
  17. Stir and bring to a boil.
  18. Evenly distribute the bread crumb mixture over the top.
  19. Remove the casserole to the oven, and bake until bubbly and the bread crumbs are browned, about 25 minutes.
  20. Serve with one crostini underneath, and two or three around the plate.
