Description

Amish Harvest Casserole is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender chicken, sweet sautéed potatoes, peas, and a creamy mushroom sauce topped with melted cheddar cheese. This easy-to-make casserole brings together wholesome ingredients with savory flavors, perfect for a family dinner during cooler months.

Ingredients

Protein

  • 4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Pantry

  • 1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Sauté Sweet Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. Mix Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked and diced chicken, frozen peas, and sautéed sweet potatoes into the sauce mixture. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  5. Prepare Casserole: Grease a baking dish with a little oil or cooking spray. Transfer the mixed casserole ingredients into the dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top to create a melted cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving hot. Enjoy this wholesome and delicious Amish Harvest Casserole!

Notes

  • You can cook the chicken by baking, grilling, or poaching before dicing to suit your preference.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
  • Use low-fat sour cream or reduced-fat cheddar cheese to make this dish lighter.
  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are tender to ensure even cooking in the casserole.
  • This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add extra baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
