1 hour | 15 min prep
SERVES 4 -6
- 3 1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes (especially good prepared with chicken broth in place of water, and cream cheese in place of milk & b)
- 2 cups cooked cubed chicken (3 skinless boneless breasts)
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons minced onion flakes (or snipped fresh chives)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter a 13 by 9 inch shallow baking dish.
- Spread hot mashed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the baking dish, coming up the sides somewhat to create a shell.
- In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetables, soup, sour cream, onion or chives, mustard, garlic, and pepper.
- Spread the chicken mixture on top of the mashed potatoes, and sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes (or bake for about 1 hour if made ahead and refrigerated), until cheese is melted and casserole is hot and bubbly.
- Remove casserole from the oven, let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- Good served with warm buttered biscuits.
