Easy Papaya Chicken Casserole image

This is a really simple meal that my husband brought back from Hawaii when he was working there 20 years ago. It's one of his all time favaorites. I credit Mrs. Haberman, for turning him on to fruit in a meat dish.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole roasting chickens, cut up or 4 chicken breasts, halved
1/4 cup flour
1/4-1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soya sauce
2 cups papayas, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut up whole frying chicken into pieces, or chicken breasts into halves. I like to use bone in/skin on because I think the meat is moister. I remove the skin and bones before I put the sauce over it all.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, set aside. Sometimes I use chicken coating mix, just to spice this up a bit more.
  • In a roaster or large casserole dish melt butter, dip the chicken in the butter and place buttered side up.
  • Bake the chicken for one hour or until juices run clear and the chicken is tender.
  • Carefully drain the fat out of the roaster, discard the skin and bones if necessary.
  • For the sauce: Mix remaining ingredients in a saucepan (except the papaya) and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling and thickened add the papaya to the chicken in the roaster.
  • Pour the sauce over all, and put back in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Let this mixture stand for 5 more minutes before serving, so the papaya can heat through.
  • If you serve this dish with rice, double the sauce recipe.
