Chicken with French onion flavor baked in a bubbly casserole

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onions over medium-low heat until golden and soft (about 15–20 minutes for max flavor). Add a pinch of salt while cooking to help them break down.
3. In a large bowl, combine:
   • Shredded chicken
   • Cooked onions
   • French onion soup
   • Sour cream
   • Garlic powder
   • Salt & pepper
   • Half of the shredded cheese
4. Mix until creamy and well blended. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash of milk or cream.
5. Spoon into a greased 9×13” casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
6. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and hot.
7. Top with crispy French-fried onions and bake for another 5–8 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
8. Let sit for 5 mins, then dig in!

🍽️ Serve With:

• Mashed potatoes
• Egg noodles
• Rice or cauliflower rice
• Toasty bread (for that French onion soup feel)
