CHICKEN CASSEROLE DEL SOL

Creamy chicken, veggies and pasta star in this one-dish meal that you can make ahead up to 24 hours in advance. Or freeze it uncooked until you need it. In place of the canned green beans, you can substitute 16 ounces of mixed veggies, frozen or thawed. If frozen, you'll need to extend the cooking time by about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for maximum flavor. If using boneless, skinless chicken, consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter to the casserole dish to prevent dryness.
  • Seasoning and Marinating: Don't skimp on salt and pepper. Generously season the chicken before cooking, and consider using a flavorful marinade to enhance the taste even further.
  • Sautéing the Aromatics: Take the time to sauté the onions, celery, and garlic until softened and fragrant. This step adds depth of flavor to the casserole.
  • Using Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano for an extra layer of flavor. Add them during the last 15 minutes of cooking to preserve their delicate aromatics.
  • Choosing the Right Soup: Select a soup that complements the other ingredients in the casserole. Cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, or a flavorful vegetable soup are all great options.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is bubbly. Avoid overbaking, as this can dry out the chicken.

Conclusion:

Chicken casserole del Sol is a versatile and comforting dish that can be easily customized to suit your preferences. Experiment with different ingredients, seasonings, and herbs to create a casserole that's uniquely yours. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
