Sunday chickenI am in the mood for some sort of chicken casserole. It is rainy and cold today and I am in the mood to cook something new. I thought I would try this recipe. What do you think?
Chicken casserole
Ingredients:
* 2 cups soft bread cubes (2 to 3 slices)
* 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1 cup cooked vegetables (peas, green beans, mixed, etc.)
* 2 tablespoons chopped onion
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* 1 1/2 cups cooked cubed chicken
* 1 large tomato, sliced
Preparation:
Combine bread cubes with melted butter and cheese; arrange half of mixture in a buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole. Spread vegetables over the bread mixture.
Sauté chopped onion in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until tender. Blend in flour and seasonings; cook, stirring, until flour is blended into butter. Gradually add milk, stirring and cooking until thickened and bubbling. Stir in cooked cubed chicken. Pour chicken in sauce over the vegetables in casserole; arrange tomatoes slices over sauce then top with remaining bread mixture. Bake at 325° for 25 to 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly and lightly browned.

Joane did you make it? How was it? Or were you waiting for someone to give you the green light?

Yes, I did make this and it was great! I added more bread and veggies and milk and some dill and season all. I would definitely recommend this recipe. Very delicious!

I think I will try that Joane. I'm in the mood for that kind of food.
I just made homemade chicken soup, by accident.
I put a whole chicken in a crock pot, which I never do, and added carotts,celery,onions and chicken broth. Well what was left over was what my mom used to make chicken soup! It was good and I added noodles. Well,they were supposed to be dumplings, but ended up being long noodles. 
It's the time of year for dinners like these.

Joane, that sounds yummy.
I will make it for dinner, one night this week.
Yet another question Joane  Is all purpose flour,... Plain flour, or self raising?
I'm assuming for this recipe I would use Plain.

Plain flour is used. This really turned out well for a first time recipe. I did add some extras like bread and veggies and then added extra milk to compensate for the extra bread and veggies.
Yes, Ellie it is that time of year and especially up North. Our nights are getting very chilly now.
ENJOY!!
