GRANDMA'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE

From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
water to cover
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables (such as Veg-AllĀ®), drained
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as RitzĀ®), crushed
2 tablespoons butter, cubed, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts in a large pot; cover with water. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Chop into small pieces.
  • Mix chicken, canned vegetables, chicken soup, sour cream, water chestnuts, onion, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Pour into a large baking dish. Sprinkle crushed crackers over the top and dot with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling starts to bubble and the topping browns, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this casserole. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shortcut.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans.
  • Use a good quality cream of chicken soup. The cream of chicken soup is the base of this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality soup. Look for a soup that is made with real chicken and has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Season the casserole to taste. This recipe calls for salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can also add other seasonings such as paprika, cumin, or oregano.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. Cheese is the perfect finishing touch for this casserole. It adds a delicious flavor and a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Chicken Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying casserole that the whole family will love.
