Creamy Italian Chicken Casserole
"There are many Creamy Chicken Casseroles, but I do believe this one is just a tad bit different. This was adapted from a recipe received from All Recipes which was submitted by Blondeprincess. I have adapted this recipe for my family's own tastes. It is very creamy and to us, very good. We served this with salad and garlic breadsticks. This can also be served over rice if preferred."

This casserole was very good but I had real problems with the cooking time. I originally put it in for 40 minutes and when I checked on the chicken, they were still raw on the outside. ended up cooking it for about 65 minutes ~ I also moved the chicken to the top instead of under the sauce before putting back in the oven. As I said the flavor was very good and the chicken was very moist but the rest of my dinner was done well before the chicken. I did add fresh mushrooms instead of canned and served over rice with asparagus on the side. I'm sure I'll make this recipe again but I will put in the oven much earlier. Thanks for posting! -
I tried this with chicken tenders and Kluski egg noodles and it was wonderful. Thanks for posting.

Update 8/16/06: I am back in Alabama where I was originally born & raised. I am living with my sister for the time being, and am loving every minute of it. We share cooking duties as both of us are now working. I love coming here to find new quick easy-fix meals that I can cook for my sister so she does not have to worry about it after a hard day at the office. She is an inside sales rep and I work as a project coordinator with a small construction firm.
My husband is still working in Texas for now, but that will soon change and he will be joining me here in Alabama. I just want everyone who reads my profile knows how much I love this site. You guys are wonderful.
I've always loved the Betty Crocker Cookbooks and Southern Living Cookbooks; their annual ones. Of course I love looking at any and all recipes for some reason even though I'm not a cook. I'm for anything that is quick and easy - in and out of the kitchen in record time. I especially love crockpot/slow cooker recipes.
I spend most of my time reading, but I do enjoy counted cross-stitch also. I love playing around in the water (not a very good swimmer).
My husband and I had Mason, an 8 year old Cocker Spaniel (who recently passed away - he will be missed very much as he was a huge part of our family), Pretty Boy, a 5 year old Cockatiel, and a recent addition to our growing menagerie, Pat, a blue conure whose vocabulary includes: "Hello", "Luv U", "What you doin", "All Right", and "Pretty Pat". We are both into collecting: He loves collecting Dragons & Wolves, and I'm into Tweety Memorabilia and Bells.
My dream is to travel through Alaska one of these days. I just love hearing about that state. My Mom & Dad came to visit me when I was still living in Texas after a 4-week vacation travelling through Alaska. The picutres they took are simply breath-taking.
