Useless meanderings of a unsuspecting mother, who's goal is to raise fairly normal triplets, get back to basics, while having a fairly normal life, and just to survive the day. A small town chicky who was transplanted into an even smaller fishing town....proving time and time again she doesn't have to eat lobster to cook it right and good parenting does not have anything to do with others perceptions.

Layered Chicken (turkey) Dinner O'Casserole

A very hearty and tasty way to use up chicken or turkey leftovers. 

In dutch oven warm up some oil, add in finely diced celery and onions. Add in meat. I used 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Cook while stirring until chicken is fully cooked or if using leftovers, until the veggies are soft. 
Add in some salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, and summer savory and a tiny bit of nutmeg. Add about 1/3 cup of white wine. Boil down.
Add 2/3 cup of flour and stir well.
Add 3-4 cups of chicken stock and about 1/3 cup of cream.
Stir until thickened...should make a great gravy...if not thick enough add a slurry of cornstarch and water and cook.
Turn off stove and turn on oven to 350.
Add in some veggies. I used frozen green beans and carrots and stir well. 
Next a layer of sweet potatoes. I boiled and mashed with the skins on with a splash of maple syrup.
Then a layer of cranberry sauce.
On the top spread a layer of stuffing. I made a quick batch of potato and savory stuffing. 
Bake uncovered for approx 45mins....or until the stuffing is golden brown and the gravy bubbles through.
