Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step

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.

03

Step

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.

04

Step

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.

05

Step

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.

06

Step

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.

For a richer flavor, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Just be sure to remove the skin after boiling.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as mushrooms, celery, or bell peppers.
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat. Delicious!

  • Scot Lefflersimonis

    The buttermilk adds such a lovely tang. So much better than traditional cream-of-whatever soup casseroles.

  • Mariana Armstrong

    A brilliant way to use up leftover chicken! The cornflake crust is genius.
