French Onion Chicken Casserole

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Safeway. The opinions and text are all mine.

When my friends over at Pillsbury™ asked me to create a recipe using Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, I jumped at the opportunity and ran right out to my Boston St. Safeway. I associate the sound of that can popping with warm memories of childhood honey and biscuits. While I still love them (especially with Cranberry Syrup), I have also found ways to use them in my savory dishes, especially quick weeknight meals. Those buttery layers are just so versatile! 

This time of year I crave warm comfort food and nothing says comfort more than a bowl of French Onion Soup, but on busy week nights, I just don’t have the time, so I converted my favorite cheesy soup into a soul warming casserole: French Onion Chicken Casserole. 

To save on time, I used store bought rotisserie chicken and caramelized onions I had frozen the month before blended with sour cream, beef bullion, mayonnaise and cream. I once had a reader ask me “why so many creamy items, why not one?”

And the answer was fairly simple, sour cream is dairy and has some substance, mayonnaise is actually egg (and oil) and the cream gives it moisture. All serve a very intentional purpose in making a creamy, rich dish, but most importantly: simple.

 To top off my French Onion Chicken Casserole, I used traditional Swiss cheese slices and Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits. All the ingredients in one bite make a blissful and satisfying one-dish meal with little clean up.

So POP a can of your own and make French Onion Chicken Casserole for dinner tonight!
