When my dad passed away, someone brought this to the house. My son loved this so much, I was glad to be able to get the recipe.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 -8 slices lorraine swiss cheese
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can water
1 (7 1/2 ounce) package stuffing cubes
1/2-1 cup butter

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  • Put a slice of Lorraine cheese on each piece of chicken.
  • Mix the soup, water and stuffing together (I add only as much stuffing as I think it needs- I don't always add the whole bag as I',m afraid it will be dry. Usually I add about 3/4 of the bag.) Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken.
  • Melt the stick of butter and drizzle over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour at 375 degrees F.
  • I like the onion and sage stuffing myself and this is what i used.

GRANDMA DEANA'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Grandma Deana's Chicken Casserole image

A very simple, yet very much requested recipe I remember my mom making many, many times growing up. Still one of my favorites today.

Provided by Queen Puff

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 8 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut in small pieces
8 ounces Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing
10 3/4 ounces cream of chicken soup
1 cup hot chicken broth
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix stuffing, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 stick of butter and chicken broth in a large bowl.
  • Even though not listed in the ingredients, I like to add 1 teaspoon of Paula Deen's Seasoning Mix (Recipe# 57340).
  • Add a layer of the mix to a casserole dish, then a layer of chicken.
  • Repeat layers until all is used.
  • Bake 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
  • If you're using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a creamy soup for the sauce. Cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and cream of celery are all good choices.
  • Add some shredded cheese to the casserole for extra flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Top the casserole with crushed crackers or bread crumbs before baking. This will give the casserole a crispy topping.
  • Serve the casserole with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and hearty meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken casserole a try.
