Sunday Chicken
Sunday Chicken is the ultimate comfort food dinner that is always a hit, especially with kiddos. Made with cooked chicken breast, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and Frito corn chips. So simple and so good!
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
- 2 cans cream of chicken or mushroom soup
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (10) oz bag corn chips, crushed such as Fritos
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions optional for garnish
Instructions
Heat oven to 350℉ and butter or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- This step is optional but I think it makes it even better. Heat a small skillet to medium heat and add butter and onions. Sauté until golden brown.
- To a large bowl add cooked chicken, onions, cream of chicken soup, and 1 cup of cheese. Stir to combine.
- In prepared baking dish add 1/2 of the corn chips and spread out in a single layer. Next add the chicken mixture and create another layer. Finally end with remaining corn chips and cheese. Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly and the corn chips are browned. Top with green onions if desired.
Notes
Tips:
Chicken- Use leftover chicken, a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, or even crock pot chicken, which is what I use.
Cream of soup- If you want to make your own cream of chicken or mushroom soup here is a great resource for a homemade version.
Cheese- Use your favorite shredded cheese.
Make ahead- Assemble dish 1 day in advance. Add the corn chips to the top just before baking. Follow baking temperatures and times.
