Categories     Crab

Time 2h

Yield 1 9x13 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained
1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 cups chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 -2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup coarse breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the chicken (I use tenderlions and sauté them in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil).
  • In 3 quart or larger sauce pan, sauté onion in 2 tbsp butter until tender at a medium heat. Add the chicken, crab, artichokes, parsley, salt and paprika. Stir occasionally until everything is hot.
  • Mix in the cheese; I didn't have room in my 3 quart pan to add the cheese, so I layered cheese and the contents of the pan in the baking dish and mixed it up there.
  • Put the contents of the pan into the baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter and stir it into the bread crumbs so that they are a little moist and stick together. Sprinkle over the baking dish and bake uncovered until bread crumbs are golden (about 10 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use fresh crabmeat. Fresh crabmeat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crabmeat. If you can't find fresh crabmeat, you can use canned or frozen crabmeat, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the chicken or crab. Chicken and crab are both delicate proteins that can easily be overcooked. Be sure to cook them just until they are cooked through, or they will become tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, onion, and bell pepper, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms.
  • Season the casserole well. This recipe uses a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can add other seasonings to taste. Some good options include paprika, oregano, and thyme.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese is a great way to add flavor and richness to a casserole. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a good option is a sharp cheddar cheese.

Conclusion:

Chicken crab casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and crab. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken crab casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
