Southern Baked Chicken Casserole •F&W This is a slightly modernized take on the very traditional Southern chicken casserole Jennifer Nettles's mother likes to make. The recipe swaps out the usual canned cream of chicken soup in favor of a quick white sauce. A dash of hot sauce is the perfect finish. | |
2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon | vegetable oil |
1 small | onion, finely chopped |
1 | red bell pepper, finely chopped |
1 | celery rib, finely chopped |
1/4 cup | all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups | milk |
Salt | |
freshly ground pepper | |
Tabasco | |
1/2 cup | mayonnaise |
4 cups | shredded rotisserie chicken |
1/2 cup | finely chopped pimentos,, (from a 4-ounce jar) |
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (4 ounces)
-----
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, melt the butter in the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the milk and whisk until combined. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and Tabasco. Remove from the heat and stir in the mayonnaise, chicken and pimentos.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Scatter the crushed crackers on top. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the casserole is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
