I found this great blog by Tricia Cohn called 30 days of...blog, and in it she has an entire section of casseroles she's either made or suggests! A casserole, French for "saucepan", is a large, deep dish used both in the oven and as a serving vessel. In the UK, this type of dish is frequently also called a bake. They usually consist of pieces of meat, various chopped vegetables, a starchy binder such as flour, potato or pasta, and, often, a crunchy topping. My domestication in the kitchen has really been slacking, so I'm going full speed ahead with casseroles from her site! I'm trying the Chicken Divan on Tricia's blog tonight! Looks DELISH! Happy Tuesday! xoxo, Julie
INGREDIENTS
3lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mushrooms
1 broccoli head
1/2 cup of curry OR Essence of Emeril
5 cloves of garlic (frozen) Trader Joes
4 slices of your favorite bread.
1/2 cup of salted butter
Garlic salt
HOW TO MAKE
Boil 3lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast in 1/2 cup chicken broth and top with water.
Steam 1 head of broccoli until al dente.
In a bowl combine the cans of soup, 1 can of milk, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, 1/2 cup dehydrated onions. Add the diced chicken and broccoli to the mixture. (Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (optional) Pour all ingredients into the casserole dish. Add the spice.
Top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
For the bread topping: melt 1/2 cup of salted butter and 1 clove of garlic. Add diced bread and coat evenly. (I used old hot dogs buns for this recipe but sourdough works well) Evenly spread the bread atop the casserole.
Bake covered at 350˚ for 40 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 more minutes at 375˚.
