Ingredients
For the casserole:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar works best)
- pepper
- salt
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs, cut into 1 inch pieces)
- oil (I like olive oil for this)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (I use Campbell’s Condensed)
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 1 cup sour cream
For the garnish:
- parsley flakes (optional, for color)
Step 1: Prepare and Cook the Chicken
Season three boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and plenty of pepper.
Heat oil in a preheated pan over medium-high heat, then fry the chicken breasts for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the chicken is cooked through, slice it into bite-sized chunks and set aside in a bowl.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In the bowl with the sliced chicken, add two cubed medium-sized potatoes, one can of cream of mushroom soup, one cup of sour cream, and one cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Season the mixture with a touch more salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything together until well combined.
Step 3: Transfer to Casserole Dish
Transfer the mixture into a casserole dish, smoothing it out slightly while keeping a rustic look.
This will ensure even baking and a delightful presentation.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
Place the casserole dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is slightly golden.
Step 5: Add Final Cheese Layer and Garnish
After 45 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle an additional cup of cheese on top.
Optionally, you can sprinkle some parsley flakes as a garnish for added flavor and color.
Return the dish to the oven for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the cheese has melted to your satisfaction, remove the casserole from the oven.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve and enjoy your creamy, cheesy chicken and potato casserole with family or friends.
