Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling:

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup frozen peas & carrots mix, thawed (or use canned)
  • 1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed and halved if large
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Sweet Potato Topping:

  • 29 ounces canned sweet potatoes, well drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Make Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and ½ cup evaporated milk until smooth. Add the cooked chicken, peas and carrots, and pearl onions. Stir to combine.
  3. Make Sweet Potato Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the drained sweet potatoes, melted butter, and ¼ cup evaporated milk. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the chicken filling into the dish and top with the sweet potato mixture.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and the sweet potato topping is lightly browned.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.  
  • Tips:
    • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
    • To dry out canned sweet potatoes, place them back in the empty pot on the stovetop for 1-2 minutes after draining.
    • Cook chicken breasts in an Instant Pot or slow cooker for easy shredding.
    • Taste the filling and adjust salt as needed, but keep in mind that the cream of chicken soup already contains salt.
    • Store leftover evaporated milk in the refrigerator for up to a week.
