Mom’s Chicken Casserole and CUMC
in Casseroles, Chicken, Entree, Mom's recipes, Pimentos, Stuffing on Saturday, October 15, 2011
Every month at our church, Cary United Methodist Church, the women's "Dorcas Circle" gathers for a luncheon and meeting. This month was my turn to prepare the main entrée and I chose this chicken casserole to make for them.
They’re a great group of women whom always have a fun time talking, laughing, enjoying lunch together and then settling down for the program. Pastor Shirley joins us when time permits and we were honored with her presence on this day.
This chicken casserole will rise to the occasion as a great entrée for a crowd or for a perfect dinner at home every time. It’s Mom’s recipe, not sure of the origin, but I’ve made it for years and we love it. This dish is tasty with the succulent chicken pieces and the savory stuffing mix; containing flavors most everyone will enjoy.
It has to be made ahead of time and allowed to refrigerate over night. A lot of times when I still worked, I made it on the weekend, froze it, set it in the refrigerator the morning of serving day ~ then after work just popped the casserole in the oven for dinner. Easy, easy!
It’s a hearty casserole that I bet your family would enjoy for dinner like we do! I think the women in the Dorcas Circle enjoyed it also as it was about all eaten. It’s perfect comfort food for this time of year!
