- 1/2 cup dry farina cereal (such as Cream of Wheat®)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 egg
- 2 pounds chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 potatoes, cut crosswise into thin slices
- 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cook potatoes in the reserved oil until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cook until softened, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
- Arrange cauliflower florets along the inside edge of a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish. Cover the bottom with potatoes.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened to desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Add about 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
- Pour sauce over the casserole, coating the vegetables well. Add chicken thighs and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is browned, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
