What you need for this crustless chicken pot pie casserole

• Rotisserie chicken – Shredded or cubed.
• Fresh veggies – Onion, carrots and celery. All diced.
• Frozen veggies – Corn and peas.
• Garlic – Finely chopped.
• Cream – We are using heavy but you can go light.
• Chicken broth
• Parmesan cheese
• Panko
• Flour
• Butter
• Noodles – We are using bowtie, but really any kind of cooked noodles will work.
• Salt & pepper

This is what you do…

This one is one of the easiest casseroles you can whip up on a busy night. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. You want to cook them al dente, as they will be cooking more in an oven.

Heat butter in your cast iron skillet (I love them as a casserole since you have one less dish to wash, as they go straight from stovetop to oven). Sauté onion, carrots, celery and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in flour. Cook for a minute.

Add in chicken broth and cream and cook for another 3 minutes or so until it starts thickening up a bit.

Stir in chicken and mix well. Time for the thawed peas and corn to go in, along with cooked noodles. Combine well.

In a bowl, mix panko and parmesan cheese together and layer it nicely over the chicken noodle mixture. Now this one is ready to go in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

That’s it. Look out for the nice crusty golden brown top. Let it cool down for a few minutes and dig in. Your perfect all in one (veggies + protein + carb) no hassle casserole. Ain’t that easy? All your pot pie flavors without the work. We love to give you easy. 🙂

Some variations

1. Though a classic chicken pot pie has the above mentioned veggies, try different ones on different days. Mushrooms, broccoli, green beans, zucchini or bell peppers would be great in this creamy sauce.
2. This casserole might not be that light when it comes to calories, with butter and cream. But if you don’t care for calories at all on certain days? Make it even more cheesy and rich by adding a cupful of mozzarella cheese in the sauce before layering it with panko and parmesan. So good…
3. Experiment with different cheeses. Gruyere, provolone, cheddar, goat cheese… just throw it in the sauce and get ready for different yums…
4. Play with noodles. I can see penne, rotini and even egg noodles going great. Or use different colored noodles to make it prettier.
