Equipment
- 9x13 Baking Dish
- Large Pot
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- 3 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup
- 1 10 oz. can cream of potato soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese divided
- 1 cup French's fried onions
Instructions
- Generously season the chicken breasts with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the chicken broth and seasoned chicken breasts. Bring to a gentle boil and let cook for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is simmering, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- After cooking, transfer the chicken breasts from the broth to a plate and shred them using two forks.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, 1/2 inch cubes for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of potato soup, frozen mixed vegetables, sour cream, and one cup of the Colby Jack cheese. Stir until well mixed.
- Gently fold the shredded chicken and diced potatoes into the soup mixture until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake covered for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the casserole with the remaining cheese, and add a layer of French's fried onions on top for a crispy finish.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the casserole is heated through.
