MY WAY CREAMY SAUCE - CHICKEN CASSEROLE

My Way Creamy Sauce - Chicken Casserole image

This is my husband's favorite casserole and mine too. I always bake two extra chicken breast just so I can make this casserole. You can add a cooked fresh green veggie if you like to the casserole, but we prefer it plain and simple... and so do children. Instead have a nice green salad, veggie on the side and some garlic bread.

2 (12 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 skin on cooked chicken breasts, cut in large slices (bones removed)
1 1/2 cups milk or 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 cup Velveeta cheese, sliced and cut into chunks
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup onion
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon fresh italian basil
1 teaspoon chicken soup base, paste (note Smart & Final store has this item.) (optional)
1 cup sour cream
1 lb linguine, cooked firm drained and coated with
olive oil

Steps:

In a sauce pan combine all ingredients except the sour cream and linguine pasta.
Stir several times over medium/low heat until the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat and add the sour cream and blend well.
NOTE: You can add fresh cooked veggies and your special spices at this time.
In a bowl blend together the pasta and 1/2 of the sauce and pour into a 9X13 baking dish.
Set aside the other 1/2 sauce and cover with a lid.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Note: The extra sauce is to be served warmed up in a bowl or individual small bowls and used like a gravy spooned over the finished casserole servings.
Sprinkle of grated Parmesan is always a nice touch.

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Easy Creamy Chicken Casserole image

This easy creamy chicken casserole is my mother's recipe and a family favorite. It's one of our comfort foods and regular easy recipes to make through a busy week. Can easily be prepared in advance, then popped in the oven for a nice hot meal. If making for the first time, add half of the sour cream and taste first. Add more if desired, tasting as you go, to reach desired flavor. Serve over cooked white rice.
