CHEESY CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine cereal, cornmeal, ginger, and turmeric in a resealable plastic bag. Shake well until evenly mixed.
• Lightly beat egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken thighs into the egg, one at time, and coat well. Place each thigh in the bag with the cereal mixture, seal, and shake well to coat.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken thighs; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer chicken onto a serving plate, reserve oil in the pan, and allow to cool.

• Pour sauce over the casserole, coating the vegetables well. Add chicken thighs and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
