The chicken casserole sounds awesome! Can you post the recipe?
WICKED CHICKEN CASSEROLE
1.5 - 2 lbs chicken, cooked & chunked - about 3 cups (I use the 3 pack of boneless, skinless breasts, but you can use anything you want)
1 bag frozen peas (cooked)
2 cans of mushrooms, drained (or 1 package of fresh, cooked)
1 package of stuffing mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 soup can of milk
Preheat oven to 350°
Grease a 2 qt casserole dish.
Layer dry stuffing mix in the bottom, just enough to cover it.
Layer in peas
Layer in mushrooms
Layer in chicken
Mix soup with milk and pour over the top.
Make the rest of the stuffing mix according to the package directions and layer on top.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes
I've made this up ahead of time (the night before or in the morning) and its fine, I just cook it a bit longer to heat it through when its been in the refrigerator. I've also made it and frozen it and its been ok, but a bit drier.
You can substite any vegetable you like. I believe the original recipe called for green beans, but one time I was out and substituted peas and my family liked it better that way. I've also substituted cream of mushroom soup (again, I was out and had the mushroom soup on hand) and its come out fine.
I've also done it with turkey to use up the thanksgiving leftovers and its good that way too.
I serve it with cranberry sauce.
It's a family favorite and I usually make it once a week. My kids love it and never seem to get sick of it.
