Rach went through her pantry and came up with this mash-up recipe inspired by potato chip casserole, chicken paprikash, and Spanish chicken with pimentos. 

She uses Tabasco here—a personal favorite—but feel free to swap in whatever hot sauce you have in the fridge. 

Try pairing this meal with John's Thyme Tom Collins.
