One thing I love so much about these easy recipes is that a lot of them can be made ahead of time and are even better the next day. When dinner rolls around, I just grab it from the fridge and pop it in the oven.
Even better, depending on the size of your family you’ll probably have leftovers the next day (so you get a day off from cooking…you’re welcome!). Plus, there are SO many great recipes to choose from! This list alone has everything from a Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole to one loaded with chicken, mushrooms and spinach.
Before we get to the recipes, here are some of the most frequently asked questions and the answers to help you.
Do you cook chicken before putting it in a casserole? Yes, you’ll need to cook your chicken first because you never want to put raw chicken in a traditional casserole. However, you can cheat a little by using rotisserie chicken instead.
What do I serve with chicken casserole? A simple salad and garlic bread makes a great side if your recipe doesn’t already contain a vegetable, you can also serve your favorite vegetables on the side.
Can I reheat chicken casserole? Yes, you can reheat these in the microwave or the oven. We typically use the microwave and put it in for about a minute, then add more time as needed.
