Living your best life.....on a budget!
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.
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! 🙂
