20 Best Chicken Casserole Recipes That Are Pure Comfort Food
Pot pie, pasta bakes, and enchiladas!
If there are two things we love equally, it would have to be casserole recipes and chicken dinners. Chicken casseroles offer the best of both worlds: they have all the comforting, family-friendly aspects of a casserole, plus they're loaded with chicken so they're extra hearty. Just ask Ree Drummond, whose chicken spaghetti recipe is legendary in the Drummond household. Here we've included that dish and so many more family meals to try.
From pot pies and baked pasta recipes to buffalo chicken recipes, these creative casseroles are anything but boring. Pull out your pantry staples for nostalgic bakes like chicken noodle casserole topped with crunchy, buttery crackers and a chicken and stuffing casserole that proves stuffing is worth making year-round. You'll also learn how to make the easiest chicken cordon bleu of all time. Rather than stuffing each individual breast, all of the classic elements are simply layered into a casserole dish. Of course, the easiest way to get almost any chicken casserole on the dinner table is by using a cooking hack that Ree swears by: a store-bought rotisserie chicken! Who doesn't love a little helping hand in the kitchen? The best part of these recipes is that many of them are 30-minute meals that require little prep and cleanup. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
