This mouthwatering Chicken Almondine Casserole (AKA Almond Chicken) is easy to make and combines the yumminess of chicken, green beans, and slivered almonds in a creamy base!
Casseroles are one of my family's favorite meals. They are easy to prepare and let's be honest. You can add all the ingredients in one large dish, pop it in the oven, and come back to a delicious meal. Plus, there are fewer dishes to clean up. What's not to love?
One of our favorites is this almond chicken casserole! It's similar to the ever-popular green bean almondine, but it takes it a step (or two) further.
This delicious dish has everything we love in a casserole. It offers the deliciousness of chicken and green beans that everyone loves.
In addition, it offers a creamy base from the creamed soups combined with rice AND it has a crunch from the addition of yummy slivered almonds. YUM!
And, did I mention how easy it is to make? Oh, my word! Just throw it together, pop it in the oven, let it cook, and serve. You have a hearty meal guaranteed to please!
For the chicken in the casserole, you can use any cooked chicken. If you have leftovers from a roast chicken or a rotisserie chicken, those work great. While I like to specifically use cooked chicken breast in the casserole, you can use chicken thighs or any cooked chicken meat.
