Hey guys Dave here from easy country cooking and cooking share
Well, you know, I came across this recipe a while back did some revisions on it and it came out. Absolutely
Incredible. It's one of the creamiest
Easiest cheesiest chicken dishes you will ever make and guaranteed 100% without the word of a lie. You're gonna love it
So, let me show you how to do this
Okay, first of all, we'll begin with some of our ingredients you guys kind of like this
So we've got two two bell peppers are red and green. We've got some pepper. We've got some salt
We've got some Italian seasoning cherry tomatoes, which are not fresh in the garden. I've done run out some milk some heavy cream
potato
garlic, of course
some all-purpose flour
onion
mozzarella
Tomato paste and of course some chicken. So let's get started
First of all, I got a pound and a half of chicken here and these are just chicken breasts and they're they're pre-fileted
I mean what they've done is they take the breasts and cut them in half, which is good. I was gonna do that
Anyway, so we are going to just kind of cut these
into slices
something like
Something like this. I guess that's about perfect right there
And guys, this is about a pound and a half of chicken something like that
All righty, our chickens all cut up so I'm gonna grab this up and we're gonna toss this into a bowl good old chicken
Now we're gonna season our chicken up with a bit of salt. How about a teaspoon something like that?
And of course some ground black pepper, you know me I love pepper. So I'm gonna throw a couple of teaspoons in here
Now guys, I'm just using salt and pepper, but you can use whatever seasoning you want
I mean you could throw a bit of Italian seasoning in there, paprika, whatever you want
We're just gonna keep it simple right now and four teaspoons or four tablespoons. I should say of flour
And I'm just gonna grab up the best cooking utensil
We have my hands and we're just gonna roll this around until that salt pepper and that flour
Completely covers the chicken and I know some people are saying you should be wearing gloves. Well, I'm gonna wash my hands
You wear gloves if you like
And you know, I've been thinking I would wear gloves but they'd have to be those cool black
You see people wear they don't look around get some of those, you know where to find them
I think maybe I don't mean Costco or something like that can get a map
Okay, guys got the old cast-iron pan here heat it up and I'm gonna add some oil in I don't know but a
couple of tablespoons something like that
And and some people are saying your pans big enough Dave, holy jumping that's a big pan. Yeah, it is a big pan
It's a big old 10-incher. I'm just
My friends. We're just gonna plop the old chicken somewhat methodically into my big old cast-iron pan here
I
Get this a bit spread out
I'm just gonna fry this up guys. I guess for about four minutes or something four or five minutes on each side
just until it's cooked through and browned up and should brown up nicely with that flour and
Speaking of cast-iron pans and cooking I went out last weekend and I cooked some menudo on the open fire over some maple
It was so good
So if you want to see some videos cooking over the open fire while the weather's still good before the snow flies here
Drop me a comment below and let me know
Now I'm gonna flip these over periodically here because that flour is really brown enough nicely
One of the purposes behind the flour to get a nice cook on this, ah, look at it look at this one guys
excited here
I don't know how you get excited over chicken cooking
Okay, the chicken is looking pretty good here so I'm just gonna grab this up
And we're gonna set this aside on a plate. You don't want to overcook this chicken because it gets really rubbery if you do
Okay, guys this time we're gonna grab up our bell peppers the red and the green
Like I say my garden is depleted so I had to buy these at the store
So we'll just go ahead and chop us cheek off there
And just slice this up. I'm gonna dice it too because
Wanted to cook faster
Something like this and of course, we're gonna chop the old green one up, too
All right, and then guys in the same pan with all those wonderful flavors happening
I'm gonna go in with a good knob of butter and I would just kind of let this melt down a little bit
Follow this with a little bit more oil. Just make sure that butter doesn't burn
Give everything a stir around just kind of deglaze this pan a little bit
And I'm just using cast iron here guys because we are going into the oven for about 10 minutes in
I like cast iron then we are going in with about a cup and a half of quick fry hash browns
Now I'm using the quick fry here because they're I'm lazy as a pet coon
But but you know, you can chop potatoes up too if you like, but these are just as easy and they're pretty good
So just kind of stir these around let them fry up
Now I bet you this is gonna be good guys
Now I've just got a little story to share with you here reading through the comments and don't get me wrong
I absolutely love comments. I try to reply to every one of them, but somebody made the comment that he said
Melick instead of milk and that's absolutely disgusting
Well guys, you know when I say taters, I mean potatoes when I say
Maters, I mean tomatoes
So when I say Melick, I mean milk, I'm just joking so my response to comments like that are just
What else can we say?
Leave a comment below. Let me know what you think
Well, those taters are frying see I said taters again
I'm just gonna grab up some cherry tomatoes and we're just gonna chop these up because when I add them in
And again, sadly enough my friends. These are not from the garden
It must be from some greenhouse somewhere where somebody just rushed along in a machine and plucked them off the vine
You can kind of tell here. But anyway, they'll do in a pinch
So these potatoes are pretty much done
And I know what you're gonna say. You're gonna say ha ha Dave
You showed a potato at the very beginning and the ingredients you didn't use it
Yeah, well, I opened the fridge and I the freezer and I got lazy. So
Decided to save the potato for something. I'm gonna do this afternoon. Just just use the quick-fry hash browns
But they are looking good. So I'm gonna move everything to one side of the pan here
Something like that. Then in we go with half a small chopped onion
And three cloves of garlic, you know me and my garlic
We're just stir and saute this around until that wonderful wonderful aroma of onion and garlic fill the air
After a couple of minutes, I'm gonna go in with those red and green bell peppers
And of course those cherry tomatoes. I think this is gonna be a pretty dish too guys
Kind of give these a quick stir around
And we'll mix everything together here now, I think you can kind of see the plan coming together
Okay, a couple of tablespoons good heaping tablespoons of tomato paste
This is gonna make everything nice. Maybe a little more maybe two and a half three
This is make everything nice and red rich picking things up. Let's mix that around till it covers
Now I've reduced the heat here guys to about medium
Now three-quarters of a cup of heavy cream
And I'm gonna combine this with about
Three-quarters of a cup of good old as I always say milk
Season things up with a bit of salt
some ground black pepper
And like I say, I always go heavy on the pepper
And you know, you can always go with white pepper, too
And a couple of teaspoons of good old
Italiano or Italian seasoning this has got everything in it. I mean everything you'd ever want anyway
Now give everything a mix together
Now the great thing is if you're diet conscious if you're diet conscious
You can cut back on the heavy cream or you could just go with
Tomato sauce tomato puree or diced tomatoes, whatever you like you can leave the cream out
But I just want that nice creamy texture
This is gonna be so good and just get in here and have a look guys. This is looking really really good and creamy. Oh
And it is smelling dandy fantastic
Now, of course guys I haven't forgotten we are going back in with that chicken
That'd be awful to forget the chicken
It's been done before I'm just using tongs here to kind of strategically get this around. So it looks
Well, pretty much you could do the old dump thing
All right, guys, this is looking it's looking pretty good to me
I mean if you feel it's a little bit dry, don't be afraid to add a little more water
Or I should say some water a little bit more milk, but it's looking pretty good to me depending on the consistency you want it
And we're just gonna let this simmer away, huh? Maybe for about five or ten minutes
now my friends I
Am gonna go over the top with some ooey gooey. Well, it will be ooey gooey mozzarella
Now this is totally optional, but I think it's gonna be so good. But if you're quite happy
You don't want those extra calories. Go ahead and leave the mozzarella out
Just to melt this down guys. I'm gonna go into the oven for about five or ten minutes
After about five minutes guys
So I'm gonna garnish this up with a bit of parsley and this is fresh from the garden and it seems to be
regrowing pretty good out there
Let's give it that greenery effect
And there you have it our creamy rich
absolutely
Incredible chicken. Oh, you are gonna love this guys
Alrighty my friends, let's grab some up here
And just look at this cheesy
cheesy
creamy
rich chicken goodness
All right. Let's give this a try guys
Mm-hmm

It's creamy. It's cheesy. The chicken has done to perfection
I mean, I don't like to blow my own horn guys, but this is absolutely so good
