So my friend recently had her baby and I had signed up to take her and her hubby a meal. I was planning on making a bake-able version of my super easy freezer burritos (coming soon!) But alas I misremembered the date and was in a crunch for time. I was only missing 2 ingredients for this yummy pot pie - esque chicken casserole that I had been wanting to try so I decided this was the option to go. After a quick run to the store I started this yummy recipe in a double batch (one for them and one for us).
Creamy Chicken Casserole
2 cans Cream of chicken soup
2 chicken breasts, cooked chopped
1 bag frozen mixed veggies
2 large potatoes
1 can biscuits
Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces. Boil until almost cooked (still firm NOT mushy - they will cook the rest of the way in the oven. if you over do them now they will just turn to mush.)- takes about 15 to 20 min depending on how big of chunks.
Cook and chop chicken breasts (I did mine in the skillet with a little salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder)
Mix chicken, veggies, potato, soup, salt, pepper and a can of water. Spray casserole and spread mixture evenly. Cook for about an hour (to heat through). 1/2 an hour in put biscuits on top.
Serves 3-6 (or 2 with leftovers for a second meal ;) )
Learn from My Mistakes:
There are 2 things I should have done differently.
The first is I didn't salt or pepper my veggies so they were a bit bland.
The second and more obvious is that initially I put the biscuits in at the beginning. This resulted in burnt biscuits that were doughy on the bottom. Putting them in half through ensures that you aren't putting cold dough on cold veggies and thus cooks more thoroughly.
Potatoes!
Biscuits!
And apparently I fail at taking the final pic. I coulda swore I took a picture of them when they were done. but I must not have. oops!
All in all in turned out great. Mr. Hubby isn't a fan of creamy casseroles so I may tweak this recipe a bit for some individual portions. I liked it a lot. Its not the most healthy but it still chock full of veggies and tastes great.
