Do you like to eat cereal for more than just breakfast?  I sure do. I like to eat it any time for lunch or a late night snack, and the kids frequently eat it after school.  I also like to bake with it as a topping for casseroles or in cookie bars and more.  This weekend I made an amazing Chicken Noodle Zucchini Casserole with cereal as a crunchy topping.

Post makes some of our favorite cereals.  On my last Walmart shopping trip I stocked up with Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O’s, Berry Colossal Crunch, and my youngest daughter’s favorite Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch, which is a new cereal you can find at Walmart.  Post has so many choices of cereal so everyone can find one they like.

Cereal is actually one of my favorite ingredients when I bake.  Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O’s is the perfect topping for my creamy chicken casserole.  It adds a little bit of crunch and a little bit of sweet.  Your family is going to love this casserole.  It has quickly become a favorite in our house.

Before I put everything together, I shredded 4 zucchinis in my food processor to make about 3 cups, and I cubed 7 slices of sourdough bread.  Then, I combined all the ingredients together.

I mixed it all up and added chicken broth to make it just the right consistency.  I only added about  2 1/2 cups of chicken broth as I didn’t want it too soupy.

Then, it was time to put it in the casserole dish.  I used a 9 x 13 baking dish that I had sprayed with nonstick spray.

This was the fun part.  I crushed about 1 cup of Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O’s cereal, coarsely. I used the food processor, but you can also do it in the blender or crush it by hand with a rolling pin and a ziplock bag.

My youngest loves helping me cook, so she was the official cereal girl, and she sprinkled it all over the casserole.  Then, it was time to bake!

I baked it for 35 minutes.  I kept it tightly covered with foil for the first 25 minutes, and then for the last 10 minutes, I removed the foil and baked it uncovered.

Before serving, I like to let it cool for a few minutes.  This way it thickens up a bit.

This casserole smells so wonderful when it’s ready.  Everyone was very excited for dinner.  The combination of the crunchy cereal topping and the creamy casserole makes this such a favorite meal at our house.
