Preparation Time 10-15 minutes
Cooking Time 35-45 minutes
Total Time 45-60 minutes
Level of Difficulty Medium
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3 to 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste, optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10.75 ounces) can condensed herb-flavored cream of chicken soup
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Butter

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place ½ cup of butter in a 9 x 13 casserole or baking dish.

Melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted, which should take about 1 minute.

Ensure the butter is spread evenly across the bottom of the dish.

 

Step 2: Add the Chicken

Spread 3 to 4 cups of cooked, chopped, or shredded chicken evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.

Make sure the chicken is distributed evenly for the best results.

 

Step 3: Prepare and Add the Flour Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour, 1 cup of milk, ¼ teaspoon of poultry seasoning, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.

Stir well to combine the ingredients.

Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.

Do not mix or stir; allow the mixture to settle naturally.

 

Step 4: Prepare and Add the Soup Mixture

Using the same mixing bowl, combine 1 can (10.75 ounces) of condensed cream of chicken soup with herbs and 2 cups of chicken broth.

Mix thoroughly.

Pour this mixture evenly over the flour mixture in the baking dish.

Again, do not mix or stir; allow it to layer naturally.

 

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

The baking time may vary, so keep an eye on it towards the end.

 

Step 6: Let It Rest and Serve

Once the casserole is done baking, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

This resting period allows the casserole to set and makes it easier to serve.

Enjoy your delicious chicken casserole!
