Chicken Vegetable Casserole
I have a dandy of a recipe for you today. Chicken Vegetable Casserole is amazing. This easy casserole includes chicken (naturally). Certainly, leftover rotisserie chicken would be perfect for this recipe. It also includes mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup and cheese. The chicken mixture sits on top of a bread/crust type layer. The overall effect is just wonderful.

I’ve been going through old cookbooks trying to find appetizing recipes to make during the Corona Virus lock down. I found this one and realized it would be a terrific way to use up some shredded chicken I had in my freezer. I had all the other ingredients on hand except the mixed vegetables.
It was really pretty simple to throw together, too. I added some Pull-Apart Herb Biscuits and it turned out to be a fantastic meal. My youngest son has always referred to me as the “Casserole Queen.” That’s because I made soooo many casseroles for the boys when they were growing up. It was a way to stretch our food budget when we needed to the most. This would have been a delicious casserole to make when they were younger. It was certainly up our alley.
I took some over to a neighbor across the street as well His wife works for the prison system and she was deployed to Oklahoma for a month. I ended up taking him three or four meals while she was gone. He loved this one. I thought the taste of the casserole as the ingredients mingled together was sumptuous and rather delightful.
Chicken Vegetable Casserole is an economic main dish that’s really a one-dish meal for all intents and purposes. It’s great for weeknight suppers because it doesn’t take that long to prepare. If you need a way to use up some leftover rotisserie chicken in your refrigerator, this entree is a sure win.

Chicken Vegetable Casserole is hearty, filling and satisfying.
I loved the creaminess of the entree. But having the chicken mixture rest upon a bread/crust-type bottom was amazing.
This is an economical entree if you’re on a tight budget.

Do you think this would be as good if one didnt use the base of the casserole?

Hi, Marilyn. I actually thought it was fantastic with the base. It was certainly a different form of casserole but really terrific.
