Chinese-style ingredients like almonds, water chestnuts, mushrooms, celery and chow mein noodles combine with a creamy broth, soup and milk mixture - and chicken, of course - to form this casserole. The name comes from the fact that people who have it seem to be pleasantly surprised and wonder what is in it. This is a good recipe for potlucks, etc., as it can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until ready to bake.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
6 celery stalks, chopped
1 lb chicken breast, chopped
3/4 tsp garlic powder
4 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar

2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 Tbsp hot sauce

3. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour on top of chicken and vegetables.
4. Cover dish with foil and bake for one hour. Serve on rice.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well in this casserole. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and celery, but you can also use other vegetables like green beans, peas, or corn. Just be sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook the chicken, it will become tough and dry.
Use a good quality soy sauce. Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this casserole, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, flavorful taste.

Conclusion:

Chinese chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
