Frequently Asked Questions
You can use whatever brand of potato chip that you like. To be honest, I usually just grab a bag of Lay’s potato chips or the store-brand equivalent to use as a casserole topping. But if you have a favorite brand of potato chip go ahead and use that. I also use plain potato chips but if you want to add another flavor profile to your casserole feel free to experiment with flavored potato chips. I think sour cream and onion or cheddar flavored chips would be pretty tasty!
If potato chips are no your thing feel free to use dried bread crumbs tossed in some melted butter. Use 1 cup plain or seasoned bread crumbs and 1 tablespoons melted butter. Mix those two ingredients together and sprinkle over the top of your casserole.
You can use any type of cooked chicken. It can be white meat chicken or dark meat chicken or a combination of the two. You can buy your chicken at the grocery store in the form of a whole rotisserie chicken or just the meat from a rotisserie chicken from your grocery stores’ deli. You can cook a whole chicken or just some chicken breasts in your slow cooker the day before.
In a pinch you could even use canned chicken.

Can this be frozen?
Once cooked I should think the casserole could be frozen Janis.
This casserole was easy to put together and was pretty tasty. My family enjoyed it. I did not have 2 cans of cream of chicken soup…had 1can and a can of cream of bacon so that is what I used. Doubt it made too big a difference overall. Yes…will be making this again. .
I have never heard of cream of bacon soup. But I bet it would be tasty in a lot of recipes! So glad you enjoyed the recipe Janice
Why in the world would you make us in a slow cooker when everything you’re adding to? The slow cooker is already cooked. You could combine all this. Put it in the oven to melt the cheese in 10 minutes.
That is a great question J and the answer is simple, not everyone has access to an oven.
Yup, that’d be me all summer. No oven and only a one-burner stove top. I rely on my crock pot, toaster oven and bbq.😏
This looks great AND I think the grandkids will like it this summer!
You are not alone there Joy! I do everything in my power to not turn on the oven in the summer. It just heats up the kitchen too much!
I hope you and your grandkids give this recipe a try!
