Howlin Wolf - Chicken Casserole


    

                         




Born Chester Arthur Burnett (1910), in West Point, Mississippi (now known as White Station), Howlin' Wolf, was an influential blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player, known for his booming voice. He is commonly ranked among the leading performers in “Electric Blues.” A number of songs written or popularized by him are "Smokestack Lightnin'", "Back Door Man", "Killing Floor" and "Spoonful".  Burnett passed away in 1976



 
Chicken Casserole was a big hit on the Chitlin Circuit, espeically in the deep south. If a performer was lucky enough to get themself an invite to someome's house for Sunday dinner, the casserole would be served as the main course with collards, cornbread and potato salad...a huge improvement over the nightly fish or pork chop sandwiches.


3 -4 chicken breasts
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 (1/4 lb) package Ritz crackers
1/2 cup butter
 
Preheat oven 350 degrees

Using a large pot, boil whole chicken breasts for about 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear when cut.

Transer chicken into aluminum pan then place refrigerator to cool down enough for safe handling

While chicken is cooling, mix soup and sour cream in large bowl.

Remove chicken from pan, and pull apart or cut into bite-sized chunks then mix with soup mixture.

Crush Ritz crackers in a bowl

Melt butter and mix in crushed crackers.

Place chicken mixture into a casserole dish, top with Ritz mixture, and bake 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
