This is a super casserole from a church cookbook (where the best recipes are!) It’s a great company dish and only takes a few minutes to put together. I first had it at my former next-door-neighbor’s home years ago, and it’s still one of my favorites.

Chicken Artichoke Casserole

2 14oz cans of artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

3 cups of diced cooked chicken (either poached or from a deli chicken)

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

1 cup of mayonnaise

1 tsp. of lemon juice

1/4 tsp. of curry powder

1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese

1 1/4 cups of bread crumbs

2 tbsp. of buttler, melted

/3 cup of white wine

Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Place artichokes on bottom. Mix soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry and wine. Layer the chicken over the artichokes. Pour soup mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese. Toss the bread crumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle them over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes.

I usually add a little more cheese than this recipe calls for; it adds a nice taste.  This easy chicken casserole is actually a quite elegant company main dish. You can serve it over pasta or rice or just by itself. I’ve never tried adding cooked pasta to the casserole when you assemble it, but I don’t know why that wouldn’t work, too.
