Quick chicken casserole
View recipeLife’s too busy on weeknights to spend hours in the kitchen. That’s why this cheat’s chicken casserole, which makes use of a can of condensed soup and frozen vegetables, works so incredibly well.

How to make this quick chicken casserole: key tips Chopped chicken breast can become tough and tasteless quite quickly if it is overcooked, so try not to fry it too much in the pan. Simply seal the pieces on the outside, so that all those succulent juices will be trapped inside when they go into the oven. Key ingredients in this quick chicken casserole Chicken breasts are lean in fat, plus they are less expensive than cuts such as thigh fillets, although you can use thighs in this dish, if you like.

You don’t need to defrost them before you add them to the pan.
