Nixon Chicken Casserole (From The Watcher)

After viewing Netflix’s new TV program The Watcher, Nixon chicken casserole became an instant sensation. Let’s just say that the dish received a fraction of the fame and success that the TV program did. So, you’ve probably seen the fifth episode of The Watcher, in which Peal, a suspicious neighbor, invites Nora to a luncheon for Big Mo. Nora’s assignment was to bring over the Nixon chicken, but she plainly didn’t know the recipe. Fortunately for Nora and us, Pearl offered her recipe, which you can find below.

Is Nixon Chicken Casserole a Real Dish?

Because you presumably learned about this dinner from the Watcher, you may be wondering whether it was ever a thing before the TV program. Yes, the answer is yes! Nixon Chicken Meal is not a Netflix creation, but rather a family recipe from Richard Nixon.

It was fairly uncommon for the presidential family’s recipes to be published in the press in the early 1970s. One of these is the Nixon chicken casserole recipe.

How to Make Nixon Chicken Casserole?

To prepare Nixon Chicken, just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C).
2. Remove the bones from chicken drumsticks or thighs using a sharp knife. This is accomplished by carefully cutting the flesh around the bones. Don’t be concerned if part of the flesh remains on the bones; you can use them later to create a lovely chicken soup. Furthermore, you may avoid all of it by using chicken breasts.
3. Cut the chicken into pieces after removing the bones. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper, then drizzle it with approximately 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to make it easier to distribute the spices.
4. Heat some vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken. Bake the chicken for a few minutes, stirring regularly. It should just receive a few brown spots to look cooked. That’s why Nora suggested browning some boneless chicken. The chicken, on the other hand, does not need to be entirely roasted since it will also be baked in the oven.
5. Cook broccoli for 10 minutes in another bowl.
6. When the broccoli is done, combine all of the ingredients in a casserole dish. In the casserole dish, combine half-cooked broccoli, chicken, and a can of mushroom soup. Sprinkle everything with Cheddar or Gouda cheese and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.
7. You may alternatively create this recipe with half-cooked pasta, which is what I did. You may also add some peas or bacon chunks. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients and have fun!

Is Nixon Chicken Casserole as Good as the TV show?

I can’t recall the last time I felt the need to binge-watch a TV program. But Netflix has finally done it! Not only that, but I had to study all I could on the genuine tale and articles regarding The Watchers’ denouement.

Nora’s Nixon chicken casserole is delicious! It’s almost as excellent as the TV program. But who am I to pass judgment? Simply follow the instructions and let me know what you think.
