Autumn Chicken Casserole Recipe Easy And Delicious
Today we are sharing an easy chicken recipe for a chicken casserole, we call it Autumn Chicken Casserole. Although, you can make this anytime of year. What I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make.
I have to admit I am not a big casserole person. Except when it comes to homemade macaroni and cheese, maybe a few others and this chicken casserole. You can find all our here recipes or in our recipe index.
What makes this recipe so easy? Mix it in one large bowl by adding all the ingredients and, then pour into your prepared baking dish. Then bake in the oven and serve. We have adapted this recipe several times by using seasonal vegetables. In the summer months using fresh tomatoes (above image) instead of red bell peppers (below image).

Easy Autumn Chicken Casserole
Nothing like an easy p easy meal. You can bake ahead of time if you need to, as it reheats well.
The ingredients are chicken (keep cold until time to add, per instructions for food safety), green and yellow zucchini, and chopped red bell pepper. Prepare your veggies, then toss into bowl. Melt butter in microwave, and pour into same bowl. Next add Panko 
and Italian Bread Crumbs 
. Stir ingredients all together. (Click to enlarge above image)
Add ingredients to a pre-sprayed baking dish
I use Pam 
or Pam (Olive Oil)
.
Bake at 400 degrees. While your chicken casserole is baking shred your mozzarella cheese. Then for the final 10-15 minutes of the bake add shredded mozzarella cheese.
What you end up with is a savory and delicious chicken casserole. This recipe is great for any time you don’t mind heating up your oven.

Hi Theresa! I’m like you….I love when fall comes around! It puts me in the baking mood. This casserole looks really tasty with that melted cheese on top. Cheese makes all dishes fabulous! This would be a dish I’d bake for myself and then sit and enjoy an episode of Bonanza…
