Potato Chip and Chicken Casserole

Yield: Serves 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes

The name got you, didn’t it? If you have ever put potato chips in a sandwich, you’re already on my level. They almost act like a new form of salt—crunchy and texturally exciting. It’s a perfect topping for one of my favorite cheesy chicken casseroles.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast meat

1 (5.5-ounce) bag chicken and broccoli rice side

1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup

1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of celery soup

1 red bell pepper, sliced

Juice from 1 lemon

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 (10.5-ounce) bag wavy potato chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Combine the chicken, rice side, both soups, bell pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl and pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese and potato chips evenly over the top and bake for 30 minutes. Serve.

NOTES

To cook the chicken, place 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and shred.
