This California Chicken casserole is a simple, delicious dish for under $5.00. It’s the perfect winter comfort food.
I’ve never been a real big fan of tuna noodle casserole, probably because my mom used to serve it a lot when we were young. When I became a mom I swore that I would never serve it to my kids.
Now that I’m a mom I understand why she served it so often. First off, I think it was the only casserole recipe that she had. Besides that, I think that it was a regular menu item because of how easy it was to make, didn’t take a lot of time, filled everyone’s bellies and was a pretty cheap recipe to prepare. I still don’t care for tuna casserole, but I do appreciate all of the benefits of a good casserole.
This California Chicken Casserole is my version of the casserole that my mom served. It’s easy, fast, filling and cheap just like hers, but I’ve swapped out a couple of the ingredients with some family favorites. Instead of using tuna I use chicken, instead of peas I use California medley and I replaced the potato chip topping with crushed Ritz crackers. Unlike the casserole that my mom served my family loves this casserole.

That said, I’m launching a Food Blogger group! If we work together we can make this a great outlet for all of us. If you’d like to join, visit me here
