Chicken Casserole
Description
Chicken Casserole uses simple pantry ingredients blended into a creamy mixture with diced chicken and celery for freshness. The use of instant rice means the casserole bakes through quickly without pre-cooking the rice. Hard-boiled eggs add subtle richness, while slivered almonds introduce a nutty note amid the softness.
Before baking, crushed cornflakes combined with melted butter are sprinkled over the top, producing a textured golden crust once cooked at 375°F for about 25 minutes. The casserole yields a creamy interior with a crisp surface.
It makes a convenient meal that can be prepared ahead by mixing and refrigerating the main ingredients then adding breadcrumbs before baking. Substituting cooked rice for instant rice is possible if preferred, adjusting texture slightly.
