Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

It’s so quick and easy to put this recipe together, we recommend making it just before it goes in the oven. If every minute counts, though, you could add the chicken, condensed soup and cheese to the baking dish, mix together the bread crumb and butter topping and refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake. Top the casserole with the crumbs just before baking. You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time to ensure the chicken casserole is hot and bubbly.

Can I use raw chicken in this casserole?

We don’t recommend using raw chicken in this easy chicken casserole recipe. Uncooked chicken will release liquid as it cooks, which would make this recipe watery and unpleasant to eat.

How can I reduce the saltiness of this recipe?

The easiest way to reduce the sodium in this chicken casserole recipe is to use a low sodium condensed soup, as condensed soup can contain high amounts of salt. You could also use chicken you’ve cooked yourself, as we’ve found some rotisserie chickens can also be on the salty side.
