Pineapple Chicken Casserole
This Pineapple chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish combining tropical pineapple, savory chicken, and crunchy chow mein noodles for the perfect quick weeknight meal or meal prep option.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10-1/2 ounces, undiluted
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 can chow mein noodles 3 ounces, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the casserole bakes evenly and reaches the perfect serving temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, condensed cream of mushroom soup, pineapple tidbits, chopped celery, green onion, and soy sauce.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chow mein noodles, being careful not to crush them so they retain their crunch.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining chow mein noodles over the top for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the noodles on top are lightly browned.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor before serving.
