COUNTRY STYLE CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Country Style Chicken Casserole image

One of our family favorites. Is a good way to get my boys to eat vegetables. My husband went to a small country school in Australia for primary school, Ballendella, in Rochester, Vic. The school just closed this last year. This recipe is from a cookbook the school put out in 1991.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 lbs chicken pieces
1/2 cup seasoned flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion
2 carrots
1 parsnip
7 ounces mushrooms, drained
4 slices bacon
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans campbells condensed chicken vegetable soup

Steps:

  • Coat the chicken with seasoned flour. I use Kentucky Kernel flour. Melt the butter in large fry pan and brown the chicken pieces. Transfer to a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Peel and slice the onion, chop parsnip, and carrot.
  • Chop the bacon and add to pan that cooked the chicken. If too greasy drain off some grease. Cook bacon for a few minutes on its own.
  • Add above vegetables to bacon and cook 5 minutes, making sure bacon is cooked. Add mushrooms at end of 5 minutes. I find they spit if you add with rest of vegetables.
  • Add soup and bring to a boil. Add T parsley.
  • Remove from heat and pour over chicken.
  • Cover and bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

COUNTRY FARM CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Country Farm Chicken Casserole image

A casserole with chicken, potatoes, mushroom, onions and bacon in a great tasting gravy! I grill my chicken but a friend of mine batters and fries hers...so you can do it either way, your preference. You dont have to fry everything in the bacon grease, it does take a little away from the flavor, but it tastes great even if you use olive oil, vegetable oil or butter. Cooking time includes the baking time as well the frying you do during prep.

  • Prep ingredients in advance: To save time and ensure smooth cooking, measure and chop ingredients before starting.
  • Use tender chicken pieces: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a flavorful chicken.
  • Cook chicken thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If browning the chicken in a skillet, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even apple cider can add extra flavor to the casserole.
  • Simmer the casserole: Allow the casserole to simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
