Hi guys. Today we're going to make a
0:02
busy weekn night favorite meal. This is
0:06
Mississippi chicken
0:09
casserole. Yeah, simple ingredients.
0:13
Favorite ingredients, especially the
0:15
ones that you love in a Mississippi pot
0:16
roast. We're going to put into this
0:18
chicken casserole. And to keep things
0:21
simple, we got a rotisserie chicken.
0:24
Yeah. We're going to get about three to
0:27
four cups of some chopped or shredded
0:29
chicken, however you want it in your
0:30
casserole. I'm going to start chopping
0:32
this up and getting that chicken out of
0:35
it. And then also got some noodles that
0:38
I'm going to go ahead and get into my
0:40
boiling water over there. I'm using a 12
0:43
oz bag of dumpling noodles. Whatever
0:47
kind of egg noodles you want. And then
0:49
we're just going to put this whole thing
0:51
together. I need something fast,
0:53
something easy. I got two kids coming
0:55
over here tonight who have birthdays.
0:57
That's Chris, who's Rihanna's boyfriend,
1:01
and Rihanna. They both have birthdays
1:03
this week. So, we're going to celebrate
1:05
tonight. They They've been celebrating
1:07
all week. What am I talking about? All
1:09
right, you guys. Come on up. Let's put
1:11
this one together. Now, I've got a pot
1:13
of water coming to a boil. I'm going to
1:15
add a little bit of salt. It helps
1:16
flavor the pasta.
1:19
Just a few teaspoons.
1:25
This is what I'm using right here. They
1:27
like the dumpling style because they're
1:29
a bigger noodle.
1:31
I should say kind of a wider noodle if
1:33
you can see that. Anyway, we're going to
1:35
cook these per the directions on the
1:37
back of the package for al dente because
1:41
this will cook in the oven for just a
1:44
little bit.
1:47
Once these are done, we'll just drain
1:48
them
1:50
and then I'll show you what we're going
1:51
to do with them. Now, if you don't want
1:53
to use a rotisserie chicken, you can
1:55
also boil your chicken. You can use some
1:58
uh boneless, skinless chicken breast.
2:00
Just flavor it up in your water, chicken
2:02
broth. You can bake your chicken. You
2:05
can cook it in the crock pot the day
2:07
before or the morning before you want to
2:10
use it.
2:12
I'm going to be chopping up my chicken.
2:14
It'll just give it a nice look in there.
2:17
I like the rotisserie chicken because
2:20
it's got a lot of flavor to it. This was
2:22
a Costco chicken.
2:25
So, they're pretty big and they're like
2:27
$5.
2:29
Yep.
2:29
I want some big meaty pieces in this
2:32
casserole.
2:34
All right, that looks good. What do
2:36
y'all think?
2:39
All right, let's set that aside.
2:42
All right, we've got a large mixing
2:44
bowl. I'm going to add in 4 oz of cream
2:47
cheese.
2:49
What we're going to do is just put it
2:51
into the microwave
2:53
for about 15 seconds. Heat it up just a
2:56
little bit so it's nice and creamy and
2:58
we'll mix with all the other
2:59
ingredients.
3:04
There we go.
3:07
We want to get every bite out of there.
3:09
4 ounces. It's got to go far.
3:12
All right. in the microwave.
3:17
All right.
3:18
See how creamy that is? That's what
3:20
we're looking for. We're going to add in
3:23
half a cup
3:26
of some sour cream.
3:29
Y'all see that? There we go.
3:32
I got a/4 cup here. So, I'm going to go
3:33
in twice.
3:37
That'll give it some nice tanginess
3:40
and some moisture that we're going to
3:42
need in the dish. And that's what the
3:44
butter is for, too.
3:47
Little extra moisture.
3:49
And you got to have butter on a
3:50
casserole, right?
3:54
All right. We're going to add in some
3:56
juice of the peppercinis.
4:01
Hang on to the sliced ones for a minute.
4:03
Woo. Let's get Thomas over here. There
4:07
we go. Thank you.
4:08
You're welcome. [laughter]
4:10
All right. So, we're going to add in a
4:11
couple of tablespoons. One, two. I have
4:14
1 oz of ranch seasoning, dressing, and
4:17
recipe mix. Y'all, we're keeping this
4:20
really easy and fast for a dinner
4:22
tonight, right? That's going in. And
4:26
then we have 1 oz packet of au gravy. Or
4:31
if you got a brown gravy mix, you can do
4:33
that also. Very reminiscent of a
4:36
Mississippi pot roast. Right. My oven is
4:39
preheated. We're almost there.
4:42
Now, if you want to flavor it up, I'm
4:44
going to put everything in but the salt
4:46
in the kitchen sink. Black pepper,
4:49
garlic powder, onion powder,
4:54
some smokiness, the paprika.
4:57
Now, I'm just going to take a wooden
4:59
spoon, blend this together. kind of mash
5:01
it all together.
5:04
It's nice and smooth and creamy. Oh,
5:07
that looks good.
5:10
I think that's kind of thick, so I'm
5:11
going to add some chicken broth in. If
5:13
you want to add more heat, you can just
5:15
add some more peppercini juice. Thin
5:17
that out just a little bit. There we go.
5:20
About 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Yeah,
5:23
that's better.
5:28
Make sure your flavors are where you
5:29
want them.
5:34
Wow, that's good. All right, you guys.
5:37
We're going to add the chicken
5:40
and the sliced peppercinis. However many
5:43
you want from your jar.
5:47
Right there.
5:50
And then we'll mix it all up.
5:53
All right, we're get all that chicken in
5:55
there.
5:58
We'll grab a fork, pop some of those
6:01
peppercinis in there. Let's see if
6:02
Thomas thinks that's good enough.
6:05
That's a start.
6:06
That's a start. Okay.
6:09
All right. We're going to mix this all
6:10
together.
6:12
Now, those were the sliced peppercinis.
6:15
If you want to thin this out a little
6:17
bit, you can go ahead and do that.
6:20
Now remember, I didn't add any salt to
6:21
this because the two packets that I put
6:23
in had salt enough. All right, let's
6:26
grab a baking dish. I'm using a 9 by13
6:29
baking dish. Now, remember the half a
6:32
stick of butter that we melted? Well,
6:34
I've kept the wrapper. There's still
6:36
some butter on there. You can either
6:38
grease your baking dish with non-stick
6:40
cooking spray, or you could just take
6:41
that wrapper, slather it all in there,
6:44
and get it nice and coated. It just
6:47
saves you, right?
6:50
I have several of these in the freezer I
6:51
put in a Ziploc bag. Yeah, we use them
6:54
for this kind of stuff right here.
6:57
Make sure you go off the sides and in
7:00
the corners.
7:07
All right. Now, we're going to take our
7:09
noodles and dump them in.
7:11
All right. Just add those in and break
7:13
them up as you go.
7:15
Yeah. Look at that. All
7:18
right. Now, we're going to put the
7:19
mixture on top.
7:27
Thomas wants to lick the bowl.
7:30
Maybe a little. [laughter]
7:33
We'll have him lick the bowl. There you
7:34
go. Give it a try. Tell us what you
7:36
think.
7:39
Oh. Oh, that's good.
7:43
All right. We're going to kind of blend
7:45
this a little bit.
7:47
Who's supposed to be coming to get this?
7:49
Yeah,
7:51
they're gonna eat this. Chris and
7:53
Rihanna. Rihanna's our daughter
7:56
and Chris is her boyfriend.
8:00
They've been together for almost over a
8:01
year now.
8:04
And it's both of their birthdays this
8:06
week. So,
8:08
they are definitely celebrating. Now, we
8:11
got to top it. Thought we were done,
8:13
huh? Now y'all, this will melt all into
8:16
those noodles. So don't worry about
8:18
that. You don't have to be perfect like
8:19
that. But there was no way we were going
8:21
to get this all into that big bowl.
8:23
That's why we do it like this.
8:26
We're going to grate half a cup of
8:28
cheddar cheese. Now we're using white
8:32
aged cheddar cheese. This is by
8:34
Chilamuk.
8:37
And we're just going to grate just
8:38
enough.
8:40
Yeah. There we go. All right. We're
8:42
going to sprinkle this on top.
8:50
And we got one more thing to put on.
8:52
I want people to see it. I want them to
8:54
know what they're eating.
8:57
Just a few peppercinis. Give that look.
9:04
What else do we need? We've got the
9:06
peppercinis. We've got the brown gravy
9:08
mix. The ranch seasoning packet. Got the
9:11
butter and some extras. [laughter]
9:14
All right, we're going to put this in
9:16
the oven at 350°.
9:19
We're going to bake this for about 25 to
9:21
30 minutes till it's nice and hot and
9:24
bubbly. That cheese has melted. Woo!
9:27
Then grab a big spoon. We're going to
9:29
give this a try for you. Does this look
9:31
amazing? It smells amazing. Perfect for
9:35
a busy weekn night meal to throw
9:38
together.
9:40
Look at that.
9:43
Make sure you get that pepperini in
9:45
there.
9:47
That's my bite, you guys.
10:02
I'm not afraid of the peppercinis too
10:04
much because I do like a Mississippi pot
10:06
roast and that started it all for me on
10:09
those peppercinis. But I do have a
10:13
Mississippi chicken in the crock pot
10:15
without the casserole form here. So if
10:17
you want to go check that out and I do
10:19
have Mississippi pot roast if you want
10:20
to go check that out. Now, I do have
10:23
homemade versions of the brown gravy mix
10:27
and also the ranch seasoning mix, and I
10:29
usually have them in these containers
10:31
here. Put them all out. I use the
10:33
packets to show how easy this recipe is,
10:35
but you can certainly make your own and
10:37
control the ingredients that goes into
10:39
those packets.
10:41
All right, you guys wish Rihanna and
10:43
Chris a happy birthday. I'll let them
10:46
know that y'all did that. Give me a
10:49
