CREAM OF MUSHROOM CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Cream of Mushroom Chicken Casserole image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cut up chicken
flour
cavendars all purpose Greek seasoning (if frying)
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken and mushroom soup
2 chicken bouillon cubes or 1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon
1.5 (10 1/2 ounce) cans water (use empty soup can)
1/2 teaspoon cavendars all purpose Greek seasoning
1 pinch garlic powder
2 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Boil or fry chicken until done.
  • PREHEAT 375°.
  • FRY METHOD: Season with Cavendar's Greek seasoning mix, shake with flour and fry until completely done.
  • In bowl mix ingredients together beat with wire whisk.
  • Place chicken in deep casserole dish.
  • Cover chicken with soup mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
  • Serve over rice (jasmine (basmati) rice is the best with this recipe).
  • REDUCED FAT METHOD: Boil skinless chicken until done.
  • Use the broth instead of the water!
  • You could also use the broth when cooking the rice.
  • 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.
