CREAM OF MUSHROOM CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This is my specialty and my family requests it when visiting. Those who have gotten the recipe tell me they cook it several times a month. I personally use family packs of wings, the chicken comes out so tender. Ask your grocer to carry Cavendars, it is wonderful on steaks, burgers alike. Also this recipe is great for leftover fried chicken. I have included a reduced fat method too.

Steps:
- Boil or fry chicken until done.
- PREHEAT 375°.

- In bowl mix ingredients together beat with wire whisk.
- Place chicken in deep casserole dish.

- REDUCED FAT METHOD: Boil skinless chicken until done.
- Use the broth instead of the water!

- This method is much lower in fat than the fried method but doesn't taste as good.
- Also use the healthy request soups to lower even more in fat sodium and calories.
Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use canned mushrooms, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms and onion: Sautéing the mushrooms and onion in butter will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality cream of mushroom soup: The cream of mushroom soup is the base of the casserole, so it's important to use a good quality soup. Look for a soup that is made with real mushrooms and cream.
- Add some cooked chicken: Cooked chicken is a great addition to this casserole. You can use leftover chicken or cook some chicken specifically for the casserole.
- Top with a crispy topping: A crispy topping will add a nice texture to the casserole. You can use bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or even crispy fried onions.
