Crack Chicken Casserole
Crack chicken is very addictive, hence the name.. it’s so good, you can’t stop eating it. To complement this dish, I often serve it with a side of green beans or a caesar salad.
Ingredients
- 3 cups macaroni
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 pounds chicken breast (cubed)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup Bisquick
- 3 cups milk
- 1 package cream cheese
- 3 cups cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated for topping)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the macaroni for approximately ten minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, flipping occasionally until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and set on paper towels to absorb the grease. Crumble once cool.
- Drain the grease from the skillet, leaving two tablespoons to cook the chicken and vegetables.
- Add two pounds of cubed chicken to the skillet and season with one-quarter teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper, and one-half tablespoon of paprika. Cook until golden and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and place in a large bowl.
- Add one medium diced onion, one green diced bell pepper, and two tablespoons of minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
- Remove from the skillet and add to the bowl with chicken.
- In the same skillet, on low heat, melt three tablespoons of butter. Add one-quarter cup of Bisquick and stir until a paste forms.
- Gradually stir in three cups of milk until fully combined.
- Stir in one can of cream of chicken soup and one package of cream cheese. Stir until well incorporated.
- Add three cups of cheddar cheese and stir until fully melted. Remove from heat.
- To the bowl with meat and veggies, add the cooked pasta and cheese mixture. Stir well and transfer to a baking dish.
- Top with one cup of shredded cheese, and the cooked crumbled bacon.
- Bake for thirty minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve and enjoy!
