Chicken Stuff

This recipe was sent to me by The Friend Garner, who told me it was a dish he has used to impress many with and that has a taste that is indescribable. He also mentioned having tried several things to go as sides with this particular dish, and finds that only crescent roles and asparagus are two that seem to pair well with the flavor. After writing down the directions and asking a question about whether or not to add milk with the cream soups (do not add milk), I gathered the ingredients and set forth to make this unique eat.

Ingredients: 2 Lbs. Boneless Chicken Breast

2 Tubs Ritz Crackers

16 oz. Sour Cream

1 Can Cream of Chicken *

1 Can Cream of Mushroom *

1 Stick Butter

Rinse the Chicken under cold water, then slice into strips

In a large pan, boil the Chicken until thoroughly cooked

Drain and set aside to cool

In another bowl, combine the cream of Mushroom

Cream of Chicken

And Sour Cream together until well incorporated, set aside 

Using two forks, * shred the Chicken into pieces, removing all tendons and fatty pieces

Place the shredded Chicken into the bottom of a 9x14 inch casserole pan

Then top with the Soup mixture

And spread evenly

Crush the Ritz Crackers and pour the crumbs into a bowl

Melt the stick of Butter and mix into the crumbs thoroughly

Pour the crumbs evenly across the top

Then place into a preheated oven at 375F 

Bake 35-45 minutes or until the Soup mixture bubbles around the edge

Let cool for a few minutes then dig in

Garner is totally right, the flavor is kind of indescribable, the soups and sour cream make the casserole creamy, while the chicken adds a nice chew, and the crackers finish out with a buttery crunch that really ties it all together. This is definitely a keeper in my book, though next time I make it, I'd like to try adding different vegetables to go in it, like corn or broccoli and see if it makes sort of a Chicken Pot Pie casserole.

* Do not try and be crafty and buy a Can of Chicken Mushroom Soup, it changes the flavor. Also, don't get lazy, shred all the chicken by hand for best results, don't just chop it into pieces.
