I am so thrilled to share this recipe with you today! It just so happens to be one of the oh-so-good recipes from my friend Mandy’s new cook book South Your Mouth.
And y’all… ahem…I figure since this post is all about southern food, I can let my southern Indiana accent come out or as the hubs says my Paoli accent ;)…
Now where was I? Oh yeah… y’all THIS is a fantastic cookbook full of knock-your-socks-off recipes by one talented home cook.
Ya know this blogging thing has brought a lot of amazing and uber-talented people into my life and Miss Mandy is definitely among those that I count as a blessing. Her blog (also entitled) South Your Mouth is full of great recipes and smart sass that will leave you laughing all the way to the kitchen.
But more than that– on a personal note– I really admire how Mandy stays true to herself and how she cooks at home. And man, can she cook! You won’t see Mandy chasing the latest food trends… if she is sharing it, you know it is tried and true and ah-mazing!

Smothered Cheesy Chicken
I just know you are going to LOVE this recipe… I mean who doesn’t love cheese and bacon?!? It is just one example of the many great recipes you will find in her new cookbook and on her site.
This casserole starts with a cheese sauce then layers of seasoned potato slices with more cheese sauce. It is eventually topped with seasoned chicken tenders, cheese and bacon… and all baked to a golden goodness.
To say my family loved this recipe is an under statement.
Miss Add was crazy over it. You can always tell when Miss Add likes a recipe. She will practically give it a commercial afterward!
“That is SO good! No, seriously– soo good!!”
So take it from Miss Add, you are going to want to give Mandy’s Smothered Cheesy Chicken a try!
