Creamy Chicken Sandwich Casserole is the perfect savory recipe to feed a crowd.
Who doesn’t need good party recipes to feed a crowd without spending hours getting everything ready in the kitchen. This is such a recipe where we can bake all the sandwiches as a big batch in a casserole. These little sandwiches are loaded with flavor, smothered in melty cheese and a rich creamy sauce. I had made a spicy chicken filling for this but you can easily customize this recipe by adding any filling of your choice.
I came up with this recipe on a crazy, chaotic day trying to finish my unending work at home. Right from the morning till night, mom’s life is a non-stop, on-the-go whirlwind. Seriously, hats off to all mommies out there. I didn’t have much time to fix any elaborate meal that day, and made this quick fix sandwich which became an unexpected hit at home.
This is truly mouth watering. Both kids and adults will rave about this dish.
