Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup orange juice
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ cup buttermilk
2 ½ cups corn flakes cereal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place chicken in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir carrots, onion, and salt into hot skillet, cover the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir Cajun seasoning into vegetables.
  • Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture in the skillet; cook and stir until flour taste cooks off, about 1 minute. Gradually stir orange juice and broth, respectively, into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil.
  • Stir chicken, peas, 1/2 of the parsley, and dill into broth mixture; remove from heat and stir in buttermilk. Pour buttermilk mixture into a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir corn flakes and remaining parsley together in a bowl. Sprinkle corn flake mixture over chicken mixture; bake until corn flakes are golden and casserole is bubbling, about 5 minutes more. Let rest 5 minutes.
