My husband loves the Stouffer's Grandma's Chicken Bake, but it only comes in a family size... And it just isn't big enough. I played around until I actually like mine better. This is perfect for a FREEZER CASSEROLE....do not add corn flakes until ready to bake. Sometime a bake chicken or have leftover turkey. I bake a lot of chicken in one day and de- bone so that it is fixed for quesadillas, chicken salads etc. I freeze the done chicken to help with time. Baked or rotisserie chicken taste much better...

Steps

45 mins

1

Basically I use leg quarters because I love the taste better. The thighs can be deboned before cooking. This meal is a perfect (FREEZER CASSEROLE).
2

If you are using pre-cooked chicken go to step #5
3

If FREEZING do not add CORN FLAKES or BUTTER. It will be soggy.
4

IF YOU ARE BAKING YOUR OWN CHICKEN.... Put 4 leg quarters in a large bowl. Put everything on the chicken in the bowl. Use the ingredients listed for baking only. Rub all the spices into chicken by hand. Place in a baking dish cover with foil and cook at 375° for 1 1/2 hours. Take it out and open the foil and allow to cool. I use the baking broth mixed with the soups for flavor.
5

Put all ingredients for the casserole in a baking dish... I use disposable aluminum pans when I freeze this. If you use pre cooked chicken add about 1/2 cup of milk to mix soups.
6

Mix well put the crushed corn flakes on top and drizzle melted butter on top.
7

Bake casserole uncovered... For 35-40 minutes at 350°.
8

If frozen allow to thaw before baking.
