This is an easy and hearty casserole. As a timesaver, you can use frozen shredded or cubed potatoes instead of fresh sliced (thaw them first).

ingredients
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 large potatoes, peeled
onion salt, to taste
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
black pepper, to taste
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup
6 ounces water
directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Add the melted butter to a large casserole dish and tip the dish to coat the bottom evenly.
Slice the potatoes into rounds and place in the bottom of the baking dish. Season with onion salt to taste.
Slice the chicken into strips and evenly distribute them over the potatoes in the dish. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper.
Combine the mushroom soup and water and mix until smooth. Spoon the mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bubbly and the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken and potato casserole hot.
recipe tips
Slice the potatoes and chicken into even slices so they cook evenly.
For a crispier top, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
Let the casserole stand for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier serving.
Use a rotisserie chicken and frozen shredded potatoes for a quicker alternative. Reduce the cooking time to about 35 minutes.
Try different types of condensed soups for different flavors.
Add a breadcrumb topping mixed with melted butter for added texture.
common recipe questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a different flavor. Note that they will cook faster than white potatoes so adjust the cooking time as needed.
What can I use as a substitute for cream of mushroom soup?
You can use cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce as a substitute.
Is it possible to make this casserole in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the casserole a day ahead and refrigerate; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I add cheese to this casserole?
Sure, sprinkle grated cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of baking (remove the foil) for a cheesy crust.
Is there a way to make this casserole healthier?
Use a low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduce the butter. It's not terribly UNhealthy but it is higher in sodium because of the soup.
Can I add vegetables to this casserole?
Yes, adding vegetables like peas, carrots, or broccoli can make it a heartier meal.
Can I freeze the leftover casserole?
Yes, it freezes well. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven.
How long will leftovers keep?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

A simple go to for the perfect dinner after a very busy hectic day. I used all ready cooked BBQ chicken, I also added a half of onion diced small. No onion salt for us, too much salt in our diets. Cooking time cut down to half hour, served with a salad or greens of some sort.
Does it have the chicken boneless ?
I'm not clear on what your question is. The chicken needs to be cut into strips so boneless is the easiest way (boneless is called for in the ingredient list) but you could use bone-in and simply cut it off the bone.
How thin do we slice potatoes? Thanks.
There is no specific thickness - it's up to you. I went with about 1/4-inch or so.

My family loved this recipe! I added onions to the potatoes with a red pepper and a green pepper sliced thick, (not e1 likes peppers) put them in the dish, mixed with the melted butter and seasoning baked for 20 min on 425 degrees (to firm cook potatoes) then I added the sliced chicken breast with some sea salt and ground pepper, topped it off with cream of chicken soup and the water, lowered and baked at 350 degrees covered for 45 min then 15 min uncovered ! Yummy!
Condensed cream of mushroom soup?
Your question is kind of vague but I'm going to assume you're asking whether or not the soup called for in the recipe should be the condensed kind or not. The answer is yes. In most of the recipes that call for cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken, celery, etc) you should assume it means the condensed kind meant for cooking.

do u cook the chicken first r put it put it on potatoes raw
There is no mention of cooking the chicken so you would be putting it in raw. The 45-60 minute cooking time will be enough time to cook the chicken fully.

simple and tasty and it ended up very creamy.

The recipe didn't say how thin to slice the potatoes. I think I sliced them too thin because they really fell apart. I was hoping for tender but sliced potatoes, not mashed. The chicken was good and the soup made a nice gravy.
