Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked turkey or chicken slices, chopped
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving later.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, chopped turkey or chicken slices, shredded Swiss cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir thoroughly to create an even mixture.
  3. Add Soup and Season: Add the cream of chicken soup to the mixture, then season with salt and pepper according to taste. Mix everything until fully incorporated and creamy.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the prepared chicken mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crunchy topping.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm to enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and comforting flavors of this classic dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey slices with cooked ham for a different twist.
  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure the chicken is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme on top before serving can enhance flavor and presentation.
