Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups cubed skinless, boneless chicken
4 cups torn bread pieces
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup butter, melted
2 cups frozen peas
¼ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and set aside.
  • Toss the bread pieces, Cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup melted butter together in a bowl; spread about half of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the peas and chicken atop the bread layer.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir the flour, milk, salt, and pepper into the melted butter. Cook and stir the sauce until smooth and thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour over the casserole. Top with the remaining bread mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top begins to brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The peas were cooked perfectly and added a nice sweetness to the dish.
