Mrs. Hadwin’s Chicken Casserole  (Mrs. Hadwin, one of our Boy Scout friends, gave me this recipe.  The boys liked it and would ask me to cook "Mrs. Hadwin's Chicken Casserole" so that's what we've always called it.)

 

Ingredients:

 

            2 cans cream of mushroom/chicken soup

                        (or one each:  cream of mushroom, cream of chicken)

            4 boneless chicken breasts

            1 pkg. Pepperidge Farm Herb-seasoned stuffing mix

 

Directions:

 

Cook chicken breasts in water in saucepan on top of stove.  Take chicken out of broth and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.  Save the broth.  When cool, cut chicken in strips or small pieces. 

           

Mix 1 can of soup mix with 1-1/2 cans of the chicken broth.  Stir together to mix.

           

In a baking pan, place a layer of chicken, then a layer of stuffing mix, then another layer of chicken.  Pour the soup mixture over this.  Repeat process with the second can of soup and remaining ingredients, saving a small amount of stuffing mix to sprinkle on top.

           

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, if possible, to allow flavors to blend.

           

Bake at 350 until heated through and brown  (about 30-45 minutes).

1 pound small white onions

4 potatoes, pared and quartered

                                                         

       

Directions:

           

In Dutch oven, thoroughly brown meat in 2 Tbsp. hot shortening, turning often.  Add 2 cups hot water and next 9 ingredients.  Cover; simmer for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.  Remove bay leaves and garlic clove.  Add vegetables.  Cover and cook 30-45 minutes, or till vegetables are tender. 

           

In a small container, combine 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cold water.  Stir until smooth.  Gradually add hot liquid from the Dutch oven to this mixture, stirring until smooth.  Stir this mixture slowly into the hot liquid in the Dutch oven.  Cook and stir till bubbly.  Cook and stir for 3 minutes.  Serve hot.
