Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 4 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup refrigerated sour cream French Onion Dip
- 1 (10.5-oz) can unsalted cream of chicken soup
Topping
- 1 (2.8-oz) can French fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chopped chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream French onion dip, and unsalted cream of chicken soup. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for even cooking.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the French fried onions evenly over the top of the chicken mixture for a crunchy texture.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked turkey for chicken if preferred.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese before adding the French fried onions.
- Make sure not to cover the casserole while baking to maintain the crispiness of the fried onions.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To reduce sodium, use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and a low-sodium French onion dip.
