What is the purpose of the sugar? For a main dish I’m just concerned it would be sweet.
Sugar gives this dish a perfect balance of flavors, trust me.
Does this freeze?
Yeah, you can freeze this dish and defrost and heat up before eating.
Oh my goodness! I’m a picky eater and do not eat combined food or even let the different foods touch on the plate. It looked great for my son and husband though so I made it (intending to eat chicken). But I tried it to make sure it the chicken was good and I loved it! It didn’t matter that it was a casserole. My husband put ranch on his and even took it to work with him the same night. I made the recipe exact except I doubles everything and used a whole bag on cheese. I did sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper on top of everything before I put it in the oven. This was to die for! Thanks for the recipe
Thanks Alexa for trying my baked chicken and potato casserole recipe. :)
We made this for dinner tonight. I only had duck bacon, so that’s what we used. It was delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
Sounds delicious. This probably wouldn’t freeze well with the potatoes?
This sounds lovely. Going to give this a go. thanks for sharing this recipe.

What is heavy cream
Heavy whipping cream.
It I wanted to do a casserole such as this one, but instead of chicken use ground meat, what changes, if any, would you do to the recipe?
Thanks!
I think chicken meat is preferred I don’t think ground chicken would be great for this recipe.
