A flavorful chicken and macaroni casserole recipe with hard cooked eggs, peas, light sauce made with chicken broth, and seasonings.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 2 cups cooked shell or elbow macaroni (about 4 ounces uncooked)
  • 1 cup cooked frozen peas
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs
  • 1/2 cup soft or fine dry bread crumbs tossed with about 2 teaspoons melted butter

Preparation:

Melt 6 tablespoons butter over low heat; blend in flour, salt and pepper until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add chicken broth; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to boil.

Place chicken, cooked macaroni, peas, and egg slices in a 1 1/2 to 2-quart casserole. Pour hot chicken sauce/gravy over chicken and macaroni mixture. Sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.

"I thought this was an odd combo for a dinner. I had most of the stuff so I gave it a try. I did not have peas. I put in broccoli (leftover from last night). My teenagers (14) loved this. We all decided it needed more hard boiled eggs. When I was making this I thought what an odd thing to put in a dish. This will be a dish I put in our soccer night rotation. I am sure you could put this together and bake it later for dinner."
