Chicken Casserole Recipes Neiman Marcus Style

This Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole is one of those chicken casserole recipes that feels like a hug on a plate. The creamy texture meets savory chicken, layered with comforting flavors that remind me of family gatherings where the dish always disappeared faster than I could blink. I've made plenty of easy chicken casserole recipes over the years, but this one wins the crown when it comes to balance between richness and simplicity. When I first tried it, I thought—this can't be healthy. And yet, compared to other cheesy chicken casserole options, it's actually lighter and can be part of healthy chicken casserole recipes if you make a few smart swaps. Add a touch of broccoli or spinach and suddenly you're making chicken and broccoli casserole recipes worthy of a weeknight dinner. I've even tested this as one of my chicken and rice casserole recipes easy for meal prep Sundays. The rice soaks up the creamy sauce, making leftovers taste just as good on day three. Whether you love easy casserole recipes for busy weeknights or you're craving comfort food, this cheesy chicken casserole will have everyone at the table asking for seconds.
