Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze chicken casseroles?

Most chicken casseroles freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Assemble the casserole in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly with foil, and freeze before baking. To cook from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed, adding 10-15 extra minutes.

How do I prevent the top from burning while the middle cooks?

Cover the casserole with foil for the first two-thirds of the baking time, then remove the foil to let the top brown and crisp. If the top is browning too fast, tent with foil again. Baking at 350°F (175°C) gives the most even results.

What is the best cheese for chicken casseroles?

Sharp cheddar is the most popular choice in Canadian kitchens — it melts well and adds bold flavour. For creamier casseroles, mix in some mozzarella. Gruyère adds a sophisticated touch. Avoid pre-shredded cheese with anti-caking agents as it doesn't melt as smoothly.
