# Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

If using frozen chicken tenders, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes if you prefer to slice them first. This allows them to soften.

Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and place them on top of the casserole.

Bake the casserole uncovered for 20 minutes if using frozen chicken tenders and 15 minutes for homemade chicken tenders.

Prepare the gravy on the stovetop while the casserole finishes baking.
07 -
Drizzle the desired amount of gravy over the casserole and serve.

This dish can be made ahead of time and baked later for a quick family dinner.

Homemade popcorn chicken can also be used as a substitute for chicken tenders.
