How To Make cassies creamy chicken n veggie stuffing bake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
-
Step 2Make your stuffing mixture by pouring crumbs in a large bowl. Season the crumbs with onion and garlic powder, cracked black pepper,toss together. Add the melted butter and mix well. Press 3/4 of the crumbs evenly into the bottom of prepared dish. I pat it down with the bottom of a glass. Sprinkle with Parmesan and set aside.
-
Step 3In a medium sauce pan over medium heat; stir the soups, cream cheese cubes, seasonings and milk together. Heat through, stirring often until the cream cheese is melted and thoroughly blended. Pour this mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
-
Step 4In a small skillet with 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil, saute the onions, carrots, garlic and celery until softened. Pour this mixture, along with blanched asparagus into the soup mixture and blend well.
-
Step 5Carefully spread the chicken mixture over the bread crumbs that you spread in baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. I then gave it a couple grinds of black pepper.
-
Step 6Top with remaining crumbs. Cover with foil for the first 35 minutes, then remove foil and remain baking until bubbly and golden. Next time I make this, I think I'm going to just add a bag of mixed veggies...an option and no browning or precooking would be necessary, just thaw them out. I would still add onion and garlic though...everything is better with them...:)
