Chicken And Dressing In One Pan
A hearty one-pan chicken casserole featuring tender chicken, creamy soup, flavorful dressing, and savory broth, perfect for comforting family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the boiled and deboned chicken in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Pour the cream of chicken soup over the chicken.
- In a bowl, mix together the eggs, diced onion, evaporated milk, and dressing mix.
- Spread the mixture evenly on top of the soup layer.
- Pour 1/2-inch chicken broth over the assembled layers.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour until heated through and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or herbs like thyme to the mixture. If you don't have evaporated milk, regular milk can work in a pinch, but it may alter the texture slightly. To add crunch, you could top with crushed crackers or fried onions before baking. Always check the seasoning, as the dressing mix can be salty.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is hearty enough to stand alone but pairs well with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. Consider serving with a side of bread or rolls to soak up the creamy sauce. It also complements dishes like Velvet Creamed Spinach Soup for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place portions in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. You can also microwave individual servings, but the oven helps maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure the dressing mix is evenly distributed?
To ensure even distribution of the dressing mix, sprinkle it slowly over the surface of the soup layer in small amounts, then use a spatula to gently spread it out. This prevents clumps and helps create a uniform texture when baked.
