Sometimes, though, there just isn’t time. Thankfully, I’ve found quite a few crowd-pleasing recipes that I can whip together ahead of time and have ready in no time.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

I made this recipe in the evening, throwing all the ingredients on top of each other. I didn’t soften the cream cheese or have to pull out my mixer. I just tossed everything in the slow cooker, left it in the fridge overnight, and put it in the slow cooker the next morning. I left it on low all day without mixing it even once, until I got home from work 9 hours later. It turned out just as great as any other time I’ve made buffalo chicken dip! It is best served warm with tortilla chips. [tasty-recipe id="37788"]

Creamed Chicken

This recipe is even quicker than the buffalo chicken dip! I simply browned the onions, then tossed everything into the slow cooker. Once it was warm, it was ready to serve. I enjoy the 5 minute prep time, and my family enjoys eating this comfort food on homemade bread, with chips, or even on salad! [tasty-recipe id="37790"]

Hot Chicken Salad

This recipe is a Lehman family favorite. I remember my grandma making it for the whole family and have since enjoyed my mom continuing the tradition. My favorite memory is making it myself as a little girl for my grandpa and I to enjoy on our picnics together. Most recently, I made this dish in advance, leaving it in the fridge until we were ready to enjoy it. Then, when I baked it two days later, I sprinkled bread crumbs on top and put it in the oven! If you’re looking for a delicious meal you can make in advance or freeze and enjoy later, this is it! [tasty-recipe id="37791"]

Chicken Noodle Casserole

You can make this immediately before baking with about 20 minutes notice, or you can make it the night before and wait to bake it until the following day. I used my dutch oven to mix all of the ingredients, making it an easy one pot meal. I made our’s in advance, and it offered enough leftovers for a full week! [tasty-recipe id="37792"]
