Ingredients

• 16 pieces Frozen potato and cheese pierogies
• 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or lightly butter it.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread half of the frozen pierogies in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Top the pierogies with half of the shredded chicken, half of the sautéed onion mixture, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Pour half of the soup mixture evenly over the layers.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining pierogies, chicken, sautéed onion mixture, soup mixture, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
