Aldi Recipe: Gourmet Chicken Casserole

January 26, 2022

Gourmet Chicken Casserole Recipe

Today I have a cheap and easy Aldi recipe to share with you!  My mom used to make this a lot when I was younger and it is now a favorite in our household with my husband and kids.  This Gourmet Chicken Casserole is affordable and satisfying.  It’s a great recipe for a comforting Sunday evening dinner and is a great option when you want to feed a crowd because it is easily scalable and costs about $1 per serving.

Gourmet Chicken Casserole Ingredients

Gourmet Chicken Casserole Ingredients and Cost Analysis

  • 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs worth) $4.00
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese $0.98
  • 1 box stuffing mix, any flavor (I like to use cornbread) $0.69
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 10.5 oz size $0.50
  • 1/2 cup milk $0.10
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise $0.05
Total cost: $6.32 for 6 servings About $1.05 per serving! *Prices are based on buying the ingredients from Aldi.
Gourmet Chicken Casserole Preparation

This is an easy recipe to make. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare it and just 35 – 40 minutes to bake it.

Full instructions for making the casserole are below in the recipe card but it is as simple as placing the pieces of chicken breast in a casserole dish, placing a slice of cheese on top of each piece of chicken, mixing the remaining ingredients together to make the stuffing, and spooning some on top of each of the cheese covered chicken breasts.  Easy peasy! 🙂

Aldi Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

December 22, 2021

Cheap and Easy Aldi Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Today I have another Aldi recipe for you!  This is a favorite of ours that we’ve been making for years.  I love it because it’s super easy and very cheap to make.  It also leaves us with leftovers which I usually repurpose into buffalo chicken nachos later in the week!

This slow cooker Aldi recipe requires just 4 ingredients to make (5 if you count the buns or rolls you put the chicken on!).  There is hot sauce in it so it has a little kick to it but is not overly spicy.  My boys have been eating it without complaints since they were quite little!

Here’s a look at the ingredients you will need:
