Chicken Parmesan Casserole

This recipe looked very interesting to me. I usually eat breaded chicken when I have chicken parmesan so to see the breading on top of the whole thing was different, so of course I had to try it out.

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups marinara sauce
1/4 cup chopped basil
8 oz mozzarella, shredded
4 oz Parmesan, grated
1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put olive oil and garlic on bottom of 9x13 baking dish.

Layer chicken and sauce next.

Sprinkle on the basil. Then put half of mozzarella and half of the parmesan cheese on top.

Add all the croutons and cover with remaining cheese.

Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

This was very good! There were no left overs. I also made some noodles to eat with it. However, next time I make it I will put a layer of noodles on the bottom of the dish so they're baked with it and I will smash the croutons so there aren't such big pieces. Otherwise it was very good!

Stove Top Casserole

This recipe looked pretty simple and pretty good so I gave it a try.

1 package stove top stuffing (prepared as directed on box)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup milk

chicken breasts

1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Mix milk and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the cheese

Place chicken on bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Pour milk/soup/cheese mix over top and cover with rest of the cheese. 

Cover with prepared stuffing.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. 

This was really good, but I think for next time I will use 2 boxes of stuffing so that it's covered more and I love stuffing so to me there's never too much of it! 

Crockpot Potato Soup

I LOVE me some potato soup. I am always trying different recipes in search of the best one. This recipe is pretty good.

1- 30 ounce bag hash brown potatoes (I used the cubed ones)
3- 14 ounce cans of chicken broth (for some reason I only bought 2 at the store so that's what I used)
1- can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 package cream cheese
pepper

Put everything in the crock pot except for the cream cheese. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add cream cheese 1 hour before serving. Mix well until cream cheese melts.

Like I said I love potato soup, however, this wasn't the perfect recipe. My search continues...
