CORNFLAKE CHICKEN CASSEROLE RECIPE



Cornflake Chicken Casserole Recipe image

Provided by jennburg

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups cooked and cut up chicken (I use chicken thighs)
1 package frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
1/4 cup butter
1 cup cornflakes
1 teaspoon parsley
approximately 6 American cheese slices

Steps:

  • Mix soup, mayo, lemon juice and curry powder. Stir in chicken and vegetables. Place in 13X9 baking dish. Top with cheese slices. Melt butter then add cornflakes to coat and pour over chicken mixture. Sprinkle parsley over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispy topping, use crushed cornflakes or Panko breadcrumbs instead of crushed crackers.
  • Add a layer of cooked vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or peas, to the casserole before topping with the cornflake mixture. This will add extra nutrients and flavor to the dish.
  • To make a cheesy cornflake chicken casserole, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the top before baking. You can also add a layer of cheese between the chicken and cornflake layers.
  • If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/4 cup of flour, and 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the cornflake chicken casserole with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cornflake chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
