This was super simple and tasted good! I did mine in the oven and it turned out great. I'm sure the slow cooker version is excellent as well. I did not change anything about the recipe. Served it with corn on the cob on the side! Love that corn on the cob is in season again! Me and my husband love it. :)

Used this recipe, oven method, for a cooking class with 2 of my grandkids because it was easy enough for them to do themselves. Was quite tasty--everyone liked it. HOWEVER, when dishing it up we noticed that some of the chicken pieces came out nearly raw, and we had to microwave individual portions to finish cooking the chicken. Makes no sense...can't figure out how that could even happen. Have never had any issues with my oven, and the whole casserole came out steaming hot after an hour, covered, in the preheated oven. Next time they want to make it, I just told them to pre-cook the chicken pieces a bit in a skillet to be safe.
ReplyDeletethis is such a great recipe. making it for the 2nd time.
ReplyDeleteI have made this many times in the crock pot and it comes out perfect every time. I do recommend 3-4 hours versus 6 hours though, I had the chicken can dry when I first made it and let it go for over 5 hours while I was gone... Season the chicken any way you want to, I also use some garlic powder and soemtimes some hot sauce to kick it up even more.
ReplyDeleteI've made this a couple times in the Dutch Oven while camping and boy, I tell ya, there's nothing easier or better after a day of playing on the beach or hiking in the mountains! I cut the chicken up at home, freeze it and the pack it in the ice chest, at the bottom, and it stays nice and frozen until I need it. Couple of layers in the Dutch Oven, cover it up, coals on top and bottom and in just a little while dinner is served! Not sure how long I cooked it since time flies by when camping but it was all melted, chicken done tater tots crispy around the edges and the bottom! Definitely on the repeat menu!
ReplyDeleteSo in the oven version..don't cook the bacon?
ReplyDeleteI tried this in the oven. Cooked the chicken a little bit before I put it all together. I always like more cheese. This turned out great.
