Best Smoky Baked Chicken Recipes
SMOKY CHICKEN AND CHORIZO MEXICAN ENCHILADA BAKED CASSEROLE
This recipe was made from leftovers and has been requested again ALREADY by Malcolm, my husband! Cooked chicken is mixed with smoky, hot chorizo sausage and folded through a chipotle chilli tomato sauce..........sounds too hot?! I then added some sweet corn, sour cream and a jar of mild salsa to calm it down a bit, but please DO use hot salsa if you like a little spice in your life! I topped this with a dollop of sour cream and dressed it with chopped jalapeno peppers, parsley and a little chopped coriander (cilantro) for a perfect cold weather lunch. I devised this recipe especially for the Two for One Leftovers event in the Cooking Photo's Forum. Please adjust the chilli powder to your own requirements. I like spicy food but Malcolm does not, so I topped mine with loads of chopped jalapeno peppers and a sprinkling of chipotle chilli powder!! NB: I used Spanish chorizo sausage, which is cured; if you are using fresh chorizo sausage, it needs to be browned beforehand.(I made this original recipe with leftovers from KissKiss's Recipe #368069. However, ANY cooked chicken will do for this!) NOTE on adding water to salsa: My salsa was VERY thick and adding the water made it much better when baked; if your salsa is a very runny one already, do not add the water!

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 175C/350°F Grease an 8" square or an oval baking dish.
- Mix the cooked chicken and chopped chorizo sausage together, and then set aside.
- Empty the salsa into a large mixing bowl, add the water (if using), garlic powder, chipotle chilli powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Pour 1/4 of the salsa mixture over the base of the greased baking dish and then layer 1/4 of the flour tortilla strips over the top. Scatter some of the chopped olives and sweet corn over and then add some of the chopped chicken and chorizo. Top with more salsa and continue to layer in this pattern, until the last layer. For the last layer, spoon the sour cream over the top before finishing with the salsa mixture and then scatter the grated/shredded cheese over the top. (Can be frozen at this stage, cover and freeze for up to 2 months.).
- Cover the casserole with aluminium foil and bake for 35 minutes; take the foil off and finish baking for 5 to 10 minutes longer or until the topping is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve immediately with sour cream, jalapeño peppers and chopped cilantro or parsley. I find that a green salad is the perfect accompaniment to this, but rice would also be good.
- To cook from the freezer: Thaw the casserole in the fridge for 24 hours before removing for 30 minutes, before baking as instructed before.
SMOKY BAKED CHICKEN
This dish is like Alice Springs Chicken on steroids. Mixing everything together gives it a much better, juicier flavor. I like to pair it with steamed veggies.

Steps:
- Whisk garlic, lime juice, red pepper flakes, oil, salt and pepper together together in a bowl for the marinade and coat the chicken pieces thoroughly. Set aside for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Heat oil for sauce in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is golden brown and soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and saute until soft, about 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pout in chicken broth and red wine and cook on high heat until red wine reduces. To thicken the sauce, add cornstarch and whisk quickly so there are no lumps. Cook until the sauce is medium thick.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish in one single layer. Pour sauce over the chicken and spread evenly. Top with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are brown and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 25 to 30 minutes.
