Re: Can I make this casserole dish WITHOUT having to cook the chicken first?
I don't think it would work well. You could end up with tough or under cooked chicken...
Two ideas - maybe you could bake the chicken first at a nice high heat (so the outside is really done and the inside still has some cooking time left) and then throw the rest of the ingredients into the pan at the norm. temp, baking as usual.
Or, maybe you could use a large cast iron skillet and fry the chicken (or however you normally cook it) then put all the ingredients into that pan and cook it all together in the oven. At least it would save the dishes.
