cream of chicken soup
28 oz
plain potato chips

0.5 stick
seasoned panko breadcrumbs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, combine the canned salmon, cream of chicken soup, and crushed plain potato chips. Mix until evenly blended, then spread the mixture into a lightly greased oven-safe baking dish.

Melt the butter and stir it into the panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbling. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

For a slightly lighter version, use reduced-sodium soup or swap some of the chips for crushed crackers. Check the canned salmon for any small bones and remove them if preferred. Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days, then reheated in the oven or microwave.
