Description

This Million Dollar Chicken Pierogi Casserole is a rich and comforting baked dish that combines tender garlic and parmesan pierogies with creamy Alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, and a luscious blend of cheeses topped with crispy French fried onions. Perfect for a satisfying family meal, this casserole bakes to golden, bubbly perfection in under an hour.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (16-oz) packages frozen Garlic & Parmesan Pierogies
  • 1 (15-oz) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 4 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 (6-oz) container French fried onions, divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Then gently fold in the chopped cooked chicken, half of the French fried onions, and the frozen pierogies, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the prepared pierogi and chicken mixture evenly into the sprayed casserole dish. Spread it out gently to create an even layer. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the remaining French fried onions to add a delicious crispy topping.
  4. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes. The casserole should bubble and the onions on top will turn a lovely golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it rest a few minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the cheese mixture.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and cottage cheese.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to blend smoothly.
  • To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
