Chicken and Chips
This quick and easy chicken casserole is a family favorite. Topping it with sour cream and onion chips makes it a dinner even the pickiest kid will love.
Equipment
- 1 medium casserole dish or 9x13 pan
- 1 sheet tray *for cooking the chicken
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast (or thigh), cut into 2" pieces
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can sour cream (use the can from the soup) * 12 ounces/1.5 cups
- ⅓ bag sour cream and onion potato chips * large bag of chips or 1 small bag
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉
- cut the chicken into pieces and season with salt and pepper. Alternatively, you can cook the chicken breasts whole, then cut into bite sized cubes once they are done cooking. (see photo in post)
- Place the chicken pieces on a sheet tray (lined with parchment for easy clean up-optional) and bake for 20 minutes until no longer pink
- While the chicken is baking, make the sauce by combining 2 cans cream of mushroom soup and 1 can sour cream (use the can from the soup) and mixing well.
- When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven tray (cut if cooked whole) and put it in the casserole dish then pour the sauce over the chicken and even it out.
- Take the chips and crush them with your hand as you top the casserole with them, to cover the sauce. You can make them as small or as large as you like.
- Put in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly (if the chips begin to brown too much, put a lid on the casserole.)
- Serve with or over rice add a nice salad or veggies if you like.
Notes
This is an often requested (by my kids) recipe. The funny thing is two of my 3 kids hate mushrooms and until they were much older they didn't even know there were mushrooms in this dish.! Even knowing now, they still love and request it. This dish is a great weeknight supper and can be easily doubled if you're feeding more or want leftovers (because they're delicious too).
Feel free to try other flavors of chips, but sour cream and onion go very well with the sour cream in the sauce.
