SCALLOPED CHICKEN

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.

SCALLOPED CHICKEN - DELISH



Scalloped Chicken - Delish image

This was our quick after Church lunch. It can be ready in 15 minutes if using Rotisserie chicken. Or,I boiled three chicken breasts last night to be ready for today. All I had to do was shred them. Kids just love this meal. I don't make it often enough. You can serve alone, or add your favorite veggie on the side. Either way it...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box stove top stuffing - i used aldi brand, was just as good
1 1/4 c chicken broth
1/4 c butter
2 stalks celery, chopped small
1/2 small onion,chopped fine
1 14.5 ounce can, cream of chicken soup. or can use cream of mushroom
1 c sour cream
2 c cooked, shredded chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 small container fried onions ( durkee ) - optional

Steps:

  • 1. The last step of this recipe can be left out. My kids just love the Durkees onions, so I add the chicken mix to a 2.5 quart casserole. Sprinkle on the onions and broil 3 - 5 minutes. Watch closely that they don't burn. I just about burnt mine...lol!
  • 2. In a large skillet or dutch oven. Add broth, butter, celery and onions. Bring to a slow boil; and cook onions and celery till tender. About 5 minutes.
  • 3. Turn down the heat to low; add the stuffing mixture. Stir. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • 4. Now, stir in the cream of chicken soup. Then, stir in the sour cream. Next the chicken. Heat through. This can be served now, if not wanting to broil with the onion topping.
  • 5. I then scooped the chicken mixture into a 2.5 quart casserole. Cover the top with crushed onions and broiled 3 - 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 6. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
