Crispy Deviled Chicken & Potatoes – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Everyone loves a good chicken recipe, so here is one recipe that has been around for ages, but with my own special twist.  Deviled Chicken is a dish that can be prepared in many different ways, most of the recipes include a dab of Dijon mustard, but this is where the dish varies and so can your creativity.

Cooking techniques differ in this dish and sometimes can be cumbersome; from grilling to broiling the bird first, to poaching it in a sauce.  For me, I choose to make it a little more simple and cook all the ingredients in the same pan and layer the potatoes and chicken into a casserole dish after browning, and then spread the chicken with mustard.  Before placing the casserole in the oven, I coat each piece of chicken with crispy breadcrumbs for a crunch that gets even better after baking.

The outcome is tender and juicy chicken with a crispy crumb crust ladled over buttery potatoes – nothing wrong with that.  This is true comfort food and it’s nice to serve any day of the week, but especially on the weekends when you want a little more time to savor your meal – so invite some friends and enjoy a Social Sunday.
