Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Vegetable cooking spray
1/4 cup butter (2 tablespoons whole and 2 tablespoons melted)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups leftover filling from Chicken Pot Pies, recipe follows
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 (16-ounce) package egg noodles, par-cooked and drained
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 box pie crust
1 whole (4-pound) chicken, cut into parts
5 cups water
Salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray casserole baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the whole butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook while constantly stirring for 2 minutes, to cook out the raw flour taste. Add the milk while whisking, until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the chicken pot pie filling and bring to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, add the bread crumbs, the 2 tablespoons of remaining melted butter, the parsley, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the pot pie mixture and the noodles. Stir in the cheese and pour it into the casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the casserole and bake until the top is golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the pie crust according to the package directions. Divide it into 4 equal portions, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken breast in a medium pot and cover with 5 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and add salt, to taste. (Reserve the legs and thighs for another use.)
  • Simmer until the chicken is completely cooked through, skimming any fat that rises to the surface, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken, to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle remove the meat and dice into 1/2-inch cubes. Reserve the broth the chicken was cooked in.
  • In a medium pot heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, poultry seasoning, and thyme and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the reserved 4 1/2 cups of chicken broth, whisking to remove any lumps. Add the chicken and peas, bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. (Reserve 2 cups for another use.)
  • Divide the remaining mixture between 4 (14-ounce) ramekins. (Alternately, the pot pie can be made in 1 (9-inch) pie pan.)
  • Roll out the 4 pieces of pie dough to 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush the edges of the ramekins with milk. Cover each ramekin with a piece of dough and press around the edges to seal. Cut a steam vent in the top of each piece of dough and brush with milk. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40 to 45 minutes.

From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

Steps:

  • Start by heating the butter and oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped vegetables and soften.
  • Add the diced chicked and fresh sage leaves (not the stalks), and cook until golden brown
  • Remove from heat and add flour to soak up all the veg and chicken juices, then add water, chicken stock, and a bay leaf. Season to taste, and transfer to a casserole dish.
  • Cook in a preheated oven, 180c, for about an hour.
  • You could also add sweetcorn about halfway through the oven cooking time for some extra taste and colour, and it also works really well if you add dumplings!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you use bone-in chicken, you'll need to increase the cooking time.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Brown the chicken in a skillet. This will help to seal in the flavor.
  • Add the chicken, cream of chicken soup, and vegetables to a casserole dish. Stir to combine.
  • Bake the casserole at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the casserole hot. You can garnish it with parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This chicken casserole is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The casserole is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
