How To Make Amish Chicken Casserole

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and grease a 2-quart baking dish or something similar in size with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

2. Make the sauce base: Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the celery salt and salt and mix to combine.

3. Finish the sauce: Slowly add the milk to the skillet, whisking constantly until it combines with the butter flour mix. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly again, for 1 minute. Remove it from the heat.

4. Complete the casserole: Add the cooked chicken and corn to the sauce and stir to combine everything. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Melt butter in a bowl and mix it with the crushed Ritz crackers. Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs evenly on top of the whole casserole.

5. Bake and serve: Put the casserole in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and the crackers are golden brown.

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Use chicken soup or any canned soup instead of milk for a different sauce flavor and texture.
• Use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or canned chicken to save time, or you can use any boneless skinless chicken breasts.
• Add shredded cheese to the cracker butter mix for more flavor.
• Add more veggies to the casserole mix to make it even healthier.

How To Store Amish Chicken Casserole

In the fridge: Store the leftover chicken casserole in an airtight container or put a lid on the baking dish and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.

In the freezer: Transfer the leftover Amish chicken casserole to a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 4 months.

Reheating: Put the Amish chicken in a casserole dish and heat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until it's warmed through.
