Ingredients

To whip up this delicious casserole, gather these ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it’s hot and ready when your casserole is prepped.
2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, drained corn, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced onion, diced green bell pepper, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed.
3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little oil or cooking spray to keep the casserole from sticking. Pour your chicken mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
4. Add Cheese: Before baking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of your casserole. This will create a deliciously cheesy layer once baked!
5. Bake: Place the assembled casserole into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Optional Crisp: If you’re using crushed tortilla chips, add them on top of the casserole after it’s done baking and bake for an additional 5 minutes for a crispy finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and then serve warm. Enjoy the comforting flavors and textures everyone will love!

Top Tips for Perfecting Creamy Amish Chicken Corn Casserole

Here are some pro-tips to help you achieve casserole perfection:

• Substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken to save time or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a healthier twist if you prefer. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms or more vegetables.
• Timing: Pre-cooked chicken not only speeds up preparation but enhances the flavors as it warms up with the casserole.
• Common Mistakes: One mistake to avoid is not draining the corn properly—it can make the casserole watery. Be sure to drain well for the best texture!

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Creamy Amish Chicken Corn Casserole fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months. When reheating, cover with foil to prevent any excess browning, and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 20–25 minutes.

Now that you have everything you need to create this comforting casserole, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and enjoy a delightful family meal! Bon appétit!
