My husband has never been too fond of chicken, but he certainly likes it prepared this way. My children love this dish, too, and they make it often in their own homes. For easy preparation, make everything but the topping a day ahead and then refrigerate it. Add the topping before baking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This is important for food safety and to ensure that the chicken is tender and juicy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use one that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Serve the dish hot. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Escalloped chicken is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and crispy breadcrumb topping, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
