Thai Style Chicken Casserole
I had a lot of fun creating this recipe using some on hand ingredients and some of my favorite items to cook with including fish sauce, sambal oelek and coconut milk. This casserole is easy to prepare especially if you have a mandolin. The recipe creates it's own sauce to embellish the tender chicken cutlets that bake atop the thinly sliced, skin-on Russets and Vidalia onions. The chicken is marinated for 15 minutes to infuse it with the wonderful fish sauce, garlic and cilantro. This dish makes a wonderful house warming meal in a nice baking dish or a meal that can be reheated the next day!
