Amish Chicken Casserole is a family pleasing dish. It’s one easy dinner recipe you will want to keep on hand.
Comfort foods are in full force in our house. Bring them on! I love all the hearty casseroles and soups this time of year brings. Casseroles are one of my favorite things to make because you just dump everything in a dish and bake it till bubbly. Easy peasy and so good. One of our favorite casseroles is this Pizza Noodle Dish or Shepherd’s Pie.
Let me tell you a little something about the crazy deliciousness of this casserole. My kids aren’t huge leftovers fans. But. BUT. They ate this casserole up when I made it and then ASKED for the leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s magic, this casserole, let me tell you. Make it and see why. Watch your family praise you and make you feel like the magician you are.
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp. dried thyme or 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. kosher salt

Oh my goodness, this is a fantastic recipe. My husband claimed I messed it up as soon as he finished his first bite. “I think you meant to double this!” This is a great dish for when you need some simple comfort food. I’ll be making this again and sharing with others.

My family really enjoyed this! I had to cook my casserole an additional 15 minutes in order for the sauce to thicken enough, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly.
Thanks so much. I will be making this recipe again.
