What is Catalina Chicken?
Catalina Chicken is a slow cooker dish made with Catalina sauce, which is a type of barbecue sauce. The sauce is typically mixed with mayonnaise, ketchup, and lemon juice.
The dish was invented in Southern California in the 1940s by George Germon and Jasper White. They were looking for a way to use up leftover chicken from their restaurant, Le Pavillon.
The dish is traditionally served over rice or noodles and garnished with parsley. It can also be served atop biscuits or toast points as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre.
