Description

This is yet another Taste of Home recipe that we really liked. It's not my mom's scalloped chicken, but it was really good.

Ingredients

1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 small green or sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
14 slices day-old whole wheat bread, cubed
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Paprika

Method

In a skillet, saute onions, celery, green pepper, carrots and garlic in oil until crisp-tender. Transfer to a large bowl; add chicken, cheeses, mayonnaise and parsley. Place half of the bread cubes in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with chicken mixture and remaining bread. In a bowl, beat eggs; add milk, soup and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over casserole. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
