Casseroles are delicious, one-dish meals that create less mess in the kitchen while producing a complexity of flavors, colors and textures. When a variety of ingredients share the same dish and are baked together,
they blend to produce a taste that is unique and scrumptious. Originally devised as a method to use leftovers and stretch out small quantities of meat, today casseroles are looked at as modern splendors that are suitable for any occasion.
Casseroles are the perfect choice to serve the family, bring to a potluck dinner, or to share with guests.
Chicken’s versatility makes it a popular choice for use in casseroles. Since its flavor lends itself to any type of cuisine, chicken can be blended with any number of ingredients. Shredded, cubed or left in large pieces, the fowl is the terrific
complement to Spanish, Italian, French or American dishes. Its higher nutrient value and lower calorie count offset ingredients with higher fat and calorie contents, adding a healthy component to many entrées. Often chicken casseroles can be assembled
ahead of time and frozen for later use, or leftovers can be frozen in individual servings to make a quick homemade frozen lunch or dinner. Whether served from a frozen or fresh state, chicken casseroles are delicious meals that are sure to please. |
