Chicken Casserole

This was so good...kind of like Thanksgiving in a bowl. Real, yummy, grandma-ish cooking. Let me know if you try it!

Chicken Casserole (from Wholesome Home Cooking cookbook)

6 cups bread cubes (I used sprouted bread)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups organic, free range cooked chicken (could easily substitute turkey)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1/2 cup raw milk
1 1/2 cups homemade chicken broth
2 cups peas

Mix bread cubes, onions, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 cup melted butter and bake in 2 quart casserole dish at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Put chicken on top. In seperate pan, melt butter and then stir in flour and seasonings. Gradually add milk and broth to pan. Cook until thickened. Pour sauce over chicken. Put peas on top. Throw it all back in the oven and cook until its heated through.


I served this with these Cheddar and Chives Biscuits

2 1/2 cups sprouted grain flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cup. buttermilk or raw milk
1/2 cup shredded organic cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp chopped chives, fresh or dried
2 Tbsp melted butter to brush biscuits

Combine dry ingredients. Mix butter to make crumbs. Stir in milk, cheese and chives, until blended. Drop by heaping tablespoons, 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Brush biscuits with melted butter. Bake 10-12 minutes.
