One of my all-time favorite comfort meals is Chicken Casserole. I have been making this casserole since I was about 10 years old. My husband can’t stand casseroles… BUT he eats this one up and LOVES it. He always wants the leftovers for lunch the next day :) The boys clean their plates every single time and the great thing is – it’s SOO easy! I have modified this recipe over the years cutting down on the mayo and using a Rotisserie Chicken to save time.
I’m saving even more time now with my new Chicago Cutlery® DesignPro™ Knives. Thanks to the innovative grips, I know exactly where to position my hand for superior cutting and control. The Japanese steel blades are super sharp and really help quicken the preparation process. Basically, I’m turning into a slicing and dicing queen!
Ingredients:
3 cups of diced rotisserie chicken {or any other cooked chicken}
1 can cream of chicken soup {can use low-sodium or Healthy Request}
1 cup uncooked rice, cooked {about 2 1/2 – 3 cups cooked rice}
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 c diced celery
1/2-3/4 crushed corn flakes
2 Tbls butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients into a greased 9×13 baking dish. I use a 9×13 because we like extra room for our corn flakes {more crunch!} but this recipe will fit into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
Mix up the ingredients right in the baking dish. When I’m trying to save time, I don’t mess around :)
Pour cornflakes into a bag and crush away. They don’t have to be crushed to dust or anything – just break them down into smaller pieces.
Sprinkle the cornflakes over the top of the casserole. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
Bake for 30- 40 minutes or until casserole is heated through.

Your chicken casserole looks delicious! I think it’s “what’s for dinner” tonight, thank you!
Trish – this looks YUMMY!
I am new to your site. I love it. I can’t find a way to print some of your recipes such as snickerdoodles or rotisserie chicken casserole. I found it on the olive garden zupa soup.
Am I missing something?
Nope! I just recently started making the recipes printable so I’ve had to go back and edit the other recipes. I moved these two to the top of the list and they’re ready to be printed now :) Thanks for letting me know Jenny! Have a great weekend!
I’ve been making this casserole for about 18 years and it is my favorite comfort food. I sometimes add onion…sometimes not. It’s excellent for breakfast!
I have this in the oven right now. I added red onion and mixed italian bread crumbs with cheddar cheese instead of corn flakes.
mmmmmm – sounds delicious! Let me know how it turned out!
Is it an either / or on the rice? I would work either way with cooked or uncooked rice?
Thanks – Sounds like some good winter yummy comfort food!
Cooked rice for sure! It is yummy :) Thanks for stopping by!
