Flygande Jakob is a unique and flavorful Swedish casserole that combines chicken, bananas, peanuts, and cream for a delightful taste experience.

This dish was created in the 1970s by Ove Jakobsson, an air freight worker, hence the name "Flying Jakob". It quickly became a popular comfort food in Sweden.

To make Flygande Jakob, start by cooking and shredding the chicken. Then, layer the chicken and sliced bananas in a baking dish. Prepare a creamy sauce with whipped cream and chili sauce, and pour it over the chicken and bananas. Top with crispy bacon and peanuts before baking until golden and bubbly.

While the traditional recipe is delicious as is, some variations include adding curry powder for a spicy kick or using different types of nuts for added texture.

In Sweden, Flygande Jakob is typically served with rice or a simple green salad, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.

As a rich and creamy dish, Flygande Jakob is quite indulgent. It contains a good amount of calories and fat, so it's best enjoyed in moderation.
