Join Marie Callender’s and the USO to help bring the comforts of home to our brave women and men serving in the U.S. military. Just like the comforts of a good chicken casserole, Marie Callender’s wants to bring a little bit of home to troops as the celebrate the holidays.
Some dishes just remind you of home every time you eat them. Chicken casserole is one of those meals for me. It reminds me of the comfort of home.
If you are lucky enough to be home for the holidays and need a comfort food this easy casserole recipe is it. It is full of veggies and is a great way to use up leftover chicken.
I make the filling for the casserole mostly from scratch. I do use a bag of frozen veggies so I don’t have to do quite so much chopping. Chicken casserole is great for using up leftover chicken, too. Roast a whole chicken Sunday and make a pot pie on Monday.
Once the filling is done, just top with the prepared cornbread mix and bake.
This recipe takes about 15-20 minutes hands on time and another 20 or so minutes to cook and a comforting home cooked (mostly) meal is ready to go.
Bake the casserole in a casserole dish or make it in individual ramekins so everyone gets their own casserole. Kids love the individual servings.
