  • Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking; Bake uncovered for 50 - 55 minutes at 400 degrees or until bubbly.

Tips:

  • For a crispy potato topping, use Russet potatoes and slice them thinly. Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking will help them crisp up.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can make your own by blending together 1 cup of cooked chicken, 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of flour.
  • For a vegetarian version of this casserole, omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and bake it in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 30 minutes, or until it is heated through.
