- 1 can cream of chicken soup (about 10.5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.

- Add Soup and Season: Add the can of cream of chicken soup to the mixture and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and creamy.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole to create a crunchy crust once baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges, indicating it is heated through.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving. This creamy, cheesy dish is ready to enjoy as a comforting main meal.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey with chicken breast or use all chicken if preferred.
- For a crispier topping, mix the breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of melted butter before sprinkling.
- If you like a bit more tang, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the filling mix.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy topping or microwave for convenience.
