SCALLOPED CHICKEN



Scalloped Chicken image

My husband has never been too fond of chicken, but he certainly likes it prepared this way. My children love this dish, too, and they make it often in their own homes. For easy preparation, make everything but the topping a day ahead and then refrigerate it. Add the topping before baking.

Grandma's Chicken Casserole image

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:

  • Use a variety of vegetables for a more flavorful dish. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Use a creamy sauce made with roux or béchamel sauce. This will help to thicken the sauce and make it more flavorful.
  • Add a crunchy topping, such as bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated Parmesan cheese. This will add texture and flavor to the dish.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbling. This will ensure that the dish is cooked through and heated evenly.

Scalloped chicken casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying scalloped chicken casserole that your family and friends will love.
