Chicken Supreme Court

This recipe is a simple casserole dish. The dish “Chicken Supreme” is made two different ways – a chicken dish in a made-from-scratch pan sauce, or a casserole that is made with creamy soup mix. I took concepts from both to create a new dish – Chicken Supreme Court. It’s a perfect way to use up leftover chicken, potatoes, or veggies. It can be a make-ahead recipe so you can throw it in the oven when you get home from work.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces- you can start with raw chicken breasts or use precooked breasts (see adjustment for raw in the note below)

  • 1 bag spinach or other hearty green (you can use collard greens, chard, kale – whatever you have)

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 large potatoes or 6 mini potatoes, cubed (precooked or raw)

  • 1 can Cream of Celery or Chicken soup

  • 1/4 cup pesto – made from scratch or out of a jar

  • 1/2 cup milk, water, or chicken broth

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Chop onion.
  • Place in Dutch oven. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Turn heat to low. Begin to sweat down onion.
  • Add spinach to Dutch oven. Mix. Cover and let the vegetables wilt down.
  • Cube chicken. If it is raw, add it to the Dutch oven to begin to cook with the spinach.
  • Cube potatoes. If raw, add to Dutch oven with the chicken so they begin to cook.
  • Mix the pesto, water (or milk or broth) with the can of soup so it makes a sauce.
  • Once spinach is wilted down, add the soup mixture.
  • Stir all ingredients together. Place in oven. Cook for 20 minutes, or if the chicken or potatoes were raw, cook for 30 minutes.
  • Pull from oven when soup mixture is bubbling.

Notes

  • You can make so many substitutions with this recipe. I like it because it is an easy meal to prepare during the week. I love to use it when we have odds and ends leftover from another night.
