Cracker Barrel Chicken Casserole image

This is a wonderful dish! I haven't had the good fortune to have tried the original recipe at Cracker Barrel, but it it's anything like this, it's a winner for sure! Creamy chicken filling with a wonderful cornmeal crust that turns a golden color! It's a keeper for sure!

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out dry. I think I may have overcooked the chicken. I will try it again and be more careful with the cooking time.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better. I also think it would have been better with some fresh herbs.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a winner. It's easy to make and always turns out great. I love that I can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to make it even easier.
