Take-out Tuesday, French Onion Chicken Bubble-up
This is an easy weeknight dinner,
pretty much a “dump and go” type casserole…
lots of flavors and textures in the simple 6 ingredient dinner!
It’s a casserole of chicken in a creamy sauce
surrounded by biscuit pieces
and topped with cheese and French fried onions
I started by poaching boneless chicken breasts
You could also use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken
Poaching chicken is super easy,
put it in a sauce pan,
cover it with chicken broth,
bring it to a boil and cover then turn off the burner
Leave the pan on the hot burner for 30 minutes
Remove the chicken from the broth and it will shred like a dream
Mix the soup and onion dip together
You can do this right in the casserole dish
After the sauce is mixed, stir in chicken and cheese
At this point you can cover and refrigerate it until baking later
Right before baking,
cut the biscuits into 4-6 pieces
and submerge them in the sauce and chicken mixture
Bake for 20 minutes
Top with French fried onions and bake for 5 more minutes
or until biscuits are golden and cooked through
Serve it with a simple vegetable or a salad
You can also substitute sour cream for the onion dip
and top the dish with buttery cracker crumbs or crushed potato chips
