Coffee Time With John And Mama Chicken Casserole
There are few things better than spending a lazy afternoon with a good friend and a delicious meal. That's why John and I always make time for our weekly coffee catch-up. This week, Mama Chicken Casserole was on the menu, and it did not disappoint.
The Recipe
Mama Chicken Casserole is a family recipe that has been passed down for generations. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, brown the chicken pieces over medium-high heat until golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, milk, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until well combined. Add the chicken pieces back into the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
Transfer the chicken and sauce to a casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve the Mama Chicken Casserole over a bed of cooked rice, and enjoy!

While the casserole was cooking, John and I settled in for our weekly catch-up. We sipped on our coffee and chatted about everything from work to our latest Netflix obsessions.
