Creole Style Chicken Leg Quarters #5FIX image

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. Just got inspired to make this dish based on the main ingredient - Simply potatoes - shredded hash browns. Creole seasoning and baking times can vary a bit based on the size of the chicken leg quarters used in this recipe. I did not want to do a breakfast dish.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns
4 chicken leg quarters (with skin on)
1 (8 ounce) container cream cheese with vegetables
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 teaspoons creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • From the top side of each chicken leg quarters, make a pocket by using your fingers to separate the skin. Keep the skin intact at the bottom of the thigh. Rub the chicken leg quarters inside and outside with 2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the Simply Potatoes - Shredded Hash Browns with the beaten egg and cream cheese. Reserve one cup of this mixture.
  • Divide the remaining mixture into 4 portions and stuff the pockets of each chicken leg quarters. Gently pull the skin over to cover the mixture.
  • Place chicken on baking pan. Top each chicken leg quarters with the reserved potato mixture. Sprinkle the prepared chicken with remaining 1 tsp Creole seasoning.
  • Bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hour depending on size of chicken leg quarters. About 10 minutes before being done, brush the chicken with liquids from the pan. Continue baking for another 10 minutes.
