Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. If you don’t have margarine, butter works as a great substitute. To save time, rotisserie chicken can be used in place of cooked chicken. Feel free to add additional vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for more texture. You can also swap frozen peas for fresh ones if preferred.

Biscuits or crusty bread pair wonderfully for soaking up the creamy sauce. For a comforting twist, consider serving it alongside Elaine'S Hot Chicken Salad Casserole for a delightful dinner spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole a day in advance. Assemble the ingredients, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove it from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before putting it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
Can I use different proteins in this recipe?
Absolutely! While this recipe calls for chicken, you can easily substitute turkey or even shredded beef for a different flavor. Just ensure that the protein is cooked beforehand, as the casserole primarily serves to heat the ingredients through.
What can I do if I don’t have cream of chicken soup?
If you don’t have cream of chicken soup on hand, you can make a quick substitute by combining equal parts of milk and flour to create a roux, then add seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken bouillon for flavor. This will mimic the creaminess and taste of the canned soup.
