Creamy Chicken Artichoke Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Artichoke Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

2. Step 2

   Once the water is bubbling, gently add the chicken breasts.

3. Step 3

   Let them cook for about 30 minutes, or until they are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.

4. Step 4

   To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, you can use an instant-read thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C) when inserted near the bone.

5. Step 5

   While the chicken is simmering away, grab a separate bowl and combine mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper.

6. Step 6

   Mix it all together until it’s smooth and creamy, then set this flavorful mixture aside for later.

7. Step 7

   Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the pot and allow it to cool slightly.

8. Step 8

   When it’s cool enough to handle, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and layer them in the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

9. Step 9

   Next, take the artichoke hearts, cut them into smaller pieces, and scatter them over the chicken.

10. Step 10

    For a touch of extra flavor, drizzle a tablespoon of the reserved liquid from the artichoke jar over the chicken and artichokes.

11. Step 11

    Now, pour the creamy soup mixture over everything, ensuring it’s evenly distributed, and then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.

12. Step 12

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the crunchy topping.

13. Step 13

    In a skillet, melt some butter over medium heat, then add cubed bread.

14. Step 14

    Stir frequently as the bread cooks, allowing it to turn golden brown and crispy.

15. Step 15

    Once it’s perfectly toasted, sprinkle those delightful bread cubes over the entire casserole for that irresistible crunch.

16. Step 16

    Now it’s time to bake! Place the casserole in your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and beautifully golden brown.
