Chicken Casserole Recipes
Chicken lends itself well to so many dishes and is so versatile that chicken casserole recipes are always a favorite. You want to try something new for dinner? You can make chicken so many different ways, that is is an obvious choice.
Chicken also has the advantage of being a more healthy choice than some other meats, like beef. Plus it is so universally liked that it is hard to imagine that even the pickiest eater won't like chicken.
We used to have fried chicken a lot at our house. The old-fashioned greasy kind. Then we'd have mashed potatoes and gravy. Yum! Now we use the low fat version and everyone still loves it.
You can make soup out of chicken, stew, pasta salads, stir fry, a crockpot meal, the list is endless. You can make your chicken casserole as simple or complex as you like. By changing a few ingredients you can have a whole different taste. Imagine cooking your chicken in a tomato base vs a mushroom soup base.
You can certainly let your creative juices flow with chicken. Some of the favorites in our house are roasted chicken, chicken salad, barbecued chicken, crockpot chicken, chicken stir fry and chicken enchiladas. Get the idea? Chicken is just so easy to adapt into almost anything.
For the weight and nutrition conscious, chicken is also a good choice. Want a meal without carbs? How about baked chicken without the skin? It is high in protein and also low in fat. It contains B vitamins 6 and 12, Vitamin D, niacin, iron and zinc! In short you can feel good about feeding it to your family.
I like to spend some time going through chicken recipes online and compiling recipes for when I want something I can make that I know will be healthy and everyone will like.
It's also fun to share favorite chicken casserole recipes with friends and family. Who doesn't have a favorite chicken recipe?
