Chicken and Pea Casserole

A super easy chicken casserole that can be prepared in one dish making less mess in the kitchen. Feel free to substitute any vegetable you'd like in this recipe if you don't like peas.

• 4 chicken breasts (or one for each person)
• can cream mushroom soup
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 bag of frozen peas and carrots
• 1 Cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• Pepper, and paprika to taste
• bread crumbs for topping

In casserole dish, lay chicken breasts on bottom of pan. Add peas on top of chicken. In a medium bowl, add mushroom soup and milk. Stir until well blended. Season with pepper and paprika but no salt. The mushroom soup will have salt in it already. Spread mushroom soup over top of chicken. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees. Top with cheddar cheese and bake until cheese is melted.

Casserole Variations:

• Use cooked rice or cooked noodles before baking in the oven
  
• You can substitute chicken cubes in place of chicken breasts, if desired
• Add steamed broccoli or peas
• Use turkey in place of chicken
• Would you like a healthy replacement for can cream soup? Try homemade cream of chicken soup.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

by Kea Mohale (South Africa)

• 6 slices real Swiss cheese
• ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 box chicken Stove Top stuffing or cubed stuffing mix
• 1 cup butter

Put chicken in baking dish and top with cheese and mushrooms. Mix soup and broth and pour over chicken. Sprinkle stuffing mix over chicken (add seasoning packet if separate). Drizzle with butter.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

Editor's added photos and Note: Loved this creamy, cheesy, chicken recipe. I served ours with cooked vegetables and it was a hit. It would work great with cooked noodles or rice as well so you can use the extra sauce.
Thanks for sharing Kea!
