Loganville, Dacula and Bethlehem Real Estate - The Rains Team

It seems like lately I’ve been making a variety of chicken casseroles, maybe I need to branch out more, but they’re just so easy and very cost effective. Because it’s just the two of us we always have leftovers, which although I’m not a huge fan of, they do make our grocery budget go farther.

This one is a Mexican Chicken Casserole by my favorite cook (you already know I’m going to say Paula Deen don’t you?!). Well this one is cheesy, creamy, delicious and really quick to make–from assembly to oven to table is only about 40 minutes!

Ingredients:

• 1 10.75 oz. can cream of chicken soup
• 1 10.75 oz. can Cheddar cheese soup
• 1 10.75 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 10 oz. can Ro-Tel tomatoes
• 1 whole chicken, cooked, boned and chopped or 4 Cups leftover cooked chicken
• 1 11.5 oz. package flour tortillas
• 2 Cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the three kinds of soup and the tomatoes. Stir in the chicken.
2. In a greased 13×9 inch pan, layer the tortillas and chicken mixture, beginning and endgin with tortillas.
3. Sprinkle cheese over the casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This delicious dish serves 8 people. I served it with a hot spinach and artichoke dip that complimented it well. Hope you enjoy this! A great one to make for the family!

Sometimes, it’s hard to come up with a fresh new idea for dinner, which is why I love chicken so much–it is so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. If you have a lot of mouths to feed or just want to cook one night and have left-overs for a few days, a casserole is an easy and quick way to get a hearty meal. So, here’s my solution for tonight’s dinner:

Ingredients:

• 2 C. cubed cooked chicken
• 2 C. breadcrumbs
• 1 C. cooked rice
• 1 C. milk
• One 2 oz. jar pimentos, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 4 eggs, well beaten
• 1 10.75 oz. can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
• 1 C. heavy cream

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, rice, milk, pimentos, salt and cayenne.
2. Stir in the eggs.
3. Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart baking dish.
4. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
5. For the sauce, combine the soup and cream in a small saucepan and heat until bubbly.
6. Serve the sauce on the side.

This recipe will serve about 6 entree servings. I don’t like to eat a huge dinner, so I just served it with English peas. I stored the sauce and the casserole separately and re-heated them separately and it tasted just as good as the first day it was made…okay, maybe not just as good, because everything is always better when it’s hot and fresh out of the oven, but it still tasted good. You can see from the picture below, that the warm sauce is poured all over the casserole…very delicious!

Bon Appetit! Thanks for Reading!
