Notes
- NOTE: The original recipe for this casserole included white wine since that is traditional to chicken piccata. Over the years I have found that there is almost no difference in flavor if you leave out the white wine, so I have adapted the recipe to a more simple version that excludes it. If you want to add the wine, you can add 2 tablespoons to the soup mixture.
- You can cut the chicken in half, chunks, or use chicken tenderloins in lieu of full chicken breasts to make serving easier. Cooking time may be reduced.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to a month.
