Besides being warm and wonderful on a chilly day, a casserole is fun to make because it all comes together in one pan. This French onion chicken casserole is the perfect example; it uses cream of mushroom soup, French onion dip and a little Dijon mustard to create a tasty sauce for the chicken within it.

1 can (10-1/2 ounces) unsalted condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup French onion dip
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons sherry, optional
5 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions
