Chicken Strata Dinner
SUBMITTED by TheresaTT
“A dish I like to make when we need a good hot meal.”
10 cups bread cubes (1/2-inch cubes)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
4 cups milk
2 cups chicken broth
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
To prepare bread cubes, arrange in a single layer on several
ungreased large baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes
until golden brown and crisp. In a large bowl, combine dried
bread cubes, chicken, potatoes, celery, carrots and parsley. In
another large bowl, combine the milk, broth, eggs, butter, salt
and pepper. Pour liquid mixture over bread mixture; toss to
coat. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake in
pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes; stir. Bake 45 minutes
longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out
clean.
Note: I like to serve mine with chicken gravy, home-made or from
a jar.
