Notes
*This casserole is similar to our French Onion Beef Casserole with a few modifications.
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 cup of casserole. Actual calories will vary.
*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.
*Some parts of the chicken are drier than others. After the chicken gets added to the sauce, you may need to add half and half, heavy cream, or sour cream to loosen it up a bit. If the chicken is dry, it will soak up the sauce leaving little for the casserole. The extra liquid isn’t necessary but it’s great to have if needed.
*We love making this casserole as a pasta dish, but you can always omit the noodles and use the chicken, sauce, and fried onions!
