Chinese Chicken Casserole Surprise image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. This is especially true for the vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. Overcooking them will make them lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your casserole more flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, green beans, and corn.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: Cheese is a great way to add flavor and richness to your casserole. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good options.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
