In the South, we love our Chicken Casseroles. My Mother-in-law makes a delicious one with a crunchy, buttery ritz cracker crust. It is one of her recipe staples that our whole family loves. Her recipe will be coming soon. This chicken casserole is a little different. It is baked like a spaghetti casserole with loads of chicken, a white cheesy cream sauce, and topped with a crunchy cheesy panko crust. It is wicked good! Each bite is loaded with comfort and flavor. It is a “Feed Your Soul” kind of meal. My family absolutely loves it.

It also makes a great freezer meal.

You can make this meal ahead of time and freeze it for when you need it. If you are looking for a meal to give to a friend that has been in the hospital or just had a baby this is perfect. They can eat it right away or freeze it for later. If you have a small family, you could eat half and freeze the other half for another time. My family loves to eat the left overs, so I don’t ever get to freeze mine…… I hope your family loves it too. xoxo

    I have never done it before, but I imagine it would not be a problem. Do not add the breadcrumb and parmesan cheese topping until you cook it. It would become soggy if you add it early.

    Can you make this recipe the night before and then cook it the next day. Or do you need to go ahead and cook it then heat it up the next day for lunch?

    Love meals like this! So comforting and high five for being freezer friendly 🙂 Though, I’m sure it wouldn’t last long enough to make it to the freezer 😉
