My mom taught me how to make this really easy no-bake chicken casserole.
Ingredients
-any kind of pasta (i usually use bowtie 'cause it's my favorite, but any kind you have in the cabinet will work)
-1 can of cream of mushroom soup
-1 large can of chicken breast, drained (you can find it in the tuna section, I try and always get all white meat chicken breast)
-about a cup or so (more or less, depending on how much you want) of mixed frozen veggies- carrots, peas, corn, etc.
-shredded cheddar cheese
Start by cooking your pasta. Cook it so it's al dente, with a little bite to it (it'll cook more later when you put everything together).
While your pasta is cooking, you can warm your mixed veggies in a bowl in the microwave, with just enough water to cover them. Just cook them enough so that they're warmed all the way.
Once your veggies and pasta are cooked, drain them and put them into your casserole dish. Next, put the soup in the dish with the veggies and pasta. Mix it all together. If the mixture is thick you can add a little milk to thin it a little. o
After all your ingredients are mixed well, spread it evenly in the dish and sprinkle the grated cheese on the top. Use however much or little you want.
Next, cover your casserole dish with plastic wrap and seal it and stick it into the microwave for about 4 minutes. Warm it long enough to melt all of the cheese. If it requires longer heating, warm it in 2 minute intervals.
Caution: exercise caution when opening the plastic wrap, because very hot steam will come out when you open it.
One thing I sometimes add to the casserole is Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. I just sprinkle a little all over the casserole before putting on the cheese.
This casserole gets better the longer you let it sit. My boyfriend often says he likes it even better the next day.
Feel free to make a larger version of this. You can't mess this up no matter what you do so add more of any of the ingredients you like. Only thing is that you may require more soup if you make a larger one just so it's not dry. This also freezes very well. Just wait until the casserole is completely cooled and cut it up into meal sized sections and pop them into freezer bags or plastic containers. When you reheat them they will taste just as good as fresh.Whats your favorite quick and easy recipes?
