Description:
This delightful Chicken Pineapple Casserole holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first meal Andrew ever made for me, way back when we were just starting our journey together. Over the years, it’s become a staple in our household, a comforting dish that never fails to bring back fond memories. While I prefer mine swimming in sauce, Andrew insists that the original recipe calls for just one can of soup β feel free to adjust according to your own taste preferences!
Ingredients:
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup oriental noodles (reserved for topping)
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C), ensuring it’s nice and toasty for baking later. |
| 2. | Brown the Chicken: In a frying pan over medium heat, brown the chicken breasts until they’re golden and cooked through. This step adds a lovely depth of flavor to the dish. |
| 3. | Combine Ingredients: In a casserole dish, mix together the diced celery, pineapple chunks, cream of chicken soup, and soy sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of soup based on your preference for sauciness. |
| 4. | Add Chicken: Once the chicken is nicely browned, place it on top of the mixture in the casserole dish. Nestle it in snugly, allowing it to soak up all those delicious flavors as it bakes. |
| 5. | Bake: Pop the casserole dish into the preheated oven and let it work its magic for 45 to 60 minutes. Keep an eye on it as it bakes, and if you like a bit of crunch, sprinkle the reserved oriental noodles on top during the last few minutes of cooking. |
| 6. | Serve and Enjoy: Once the casserole is beautifully bubbly and the flavors have melded together, it’s time to dig in! Serve it up hot, savoring each bite of tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and savory sauce. Enjoy this heartwarming dish with loved ones, creating new memories with each delicious forkful. |
