Recipe Introduction

Be ready to give out the recipe for this, moist and tender. Easy and taste like your worked all day.

List of Ingredients

1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 bone-in chicken breast halves*
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, divided
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Tony's Chachere’s Creole seasoning
1 (10 13/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
Garnish: chopped fresh parsley, optional


Recipe

Melt butter in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish in a 425° oven.

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in 1/2 cup buttermilk, and dredge in flour. Arrange chicken, breast side down, in baking dish.

Bake for 25 minutes. Turn chicken, and bake 10 more minutes.

Stir together remaining 1 cup buttermilk and cream of mushroom soup; pour over chicken, and bake 10 more minutes, shielding chicken with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.

Drizzle gravy over chicken and Whipped Celery Potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings.
Prep: 10 min., Bake: 45 min.

*4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves may be substituted. Bake chicken at 425° for 15 minutes. Turn, and bake for 10 minutes.

Note: Light butter; nonfat buttermilk; and reduced-sodium, reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup may be substituted.


Mashed Celery (whipped) Potatoes

1 3/4 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 to 1 cup cup butter or margarine, divided
3 celery ribs, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk (I use half and half)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
(I also add garlic salt and Creole seasonings w/a dash of Tabasco)

Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan;
cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saucepan; add celery and onion, and sauté 3 to 4 minutes or until tender.

Add celery mixture to potatoes; beat at low speed with an electric mixer until potatoes are mashed. Add remaining butter, milk, salt, and pepper; beat at high speed until whipped. Serve immediately.

YIELD: 4 to 6 servings

This, to me just goes w/the baked buttermilk chicken. :)
