My Idea of something different for dinner is adding some onion or bacon to my burger instead of having them plain. My wife, on the other hand, thinks cheeseburgers once a week is too often. She likes to try different things and likes a variety in the weekly menu. This chicken casserole is a good change of pace.
This recipe is a good one to add to your repertoire. It is simple and quick to prepare. You can use any meat in place of the chicken without having to change any other ingredients. We have used canned tuna and diced ham in place of the chicken and it’s just as good.
Sour Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
The easiest way to cook the chicken is to get some boneless skinless breasts and grill them. Add a little seasoning salt to them and grill until done. Dice the breasts and set aside.
My wife prefers thighs to breasts so we usually mix some seasoning salt into a little flour, add the chicken thighs to the flour and coat lightly, but completely. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large frying pan and heat to a medium high temperature. Add the chicken thighs to the frying pan and cover. Cook the thighs for 5 to 8 minutes and turn over. Fry on the second side until done. This will take another 5 to 10 minutes depending on the actual heat of your stove and the size of the thighs. After the thighs are done set aside to cool. Remove the skin and remove the meat from the bone and dice. You can dice up the skin and add it to the casserole or enjoy the tasty snack while you are preparing the casserole for the oven.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine chicken, noodles, Cream of Chicken soup, Cream of Mushroom soup, and the sour cream. Mix well.
Pour into greased 9×13 casserole dish. Sprinkle top with the shredded cheese.
Bake 45-60 minutes.
