You might be asking yourself, "why on earth is her picture of a partially eaten pan of food?"
The answer is: because this dish is so good I couldn't stop everyone from digging in before I could get a picture!
This recipe is out of an old church cookbook we have. It is phenomenal!
We started by cubing some cooked chicken we had in the freezer and quartering the artichokes.
We didn't have any Cream of Chicken soup so we made our own - it was so easy! I got the general idea from A Pinch of Yum, but we didn't quite follow the same process. It was so easy to make, though, and worked great.
After adding all the ingredients to the sauce we spread it over the top.
Then came a layer of cheese. It called for cheddar, but we had Colby Jack on hand.
The last step before the oven was to spread the breadcrumbs and butter over the top. The recipe didn't specify how much butter so we just used about two tablespoons.
It tastes like it would take some time and a lot of work, but it is so easy!
While our dinner was cooking, I headed out for a run and came back to this... :)
They knew I was taking pictures to share, but couldn't wait until I returned to dig in. How's that for a good review! Seriously. You wouldn't wait either!
Hi Kirstin, so nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Its so nice to meet people who love the same things. I love the fact too that you're brave enough to photograph your casserole coming out of the oven. Your oven is sparkling! I'd never be game. LOL I'm following you on FB too. If you like, you can link up this lovely dish to my linky party I have every Thursday here in Australia called "Thriving on Thursday". Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Anne!
DeleteWhat a fantastic comment! Haha! I don't know if I'd be brave enough to photograph my own oven (maybe) but this is my Mom's oven at the cabin - definitely sparkling! Isn't it funny that they hardly took it out of the oven to start dishing up!?!
Thanks for following - I'll return the favor and be sure to link up this Thursday. Thank you!
