I made this great casserole meal today. This was a simple and quick recipe. It is a great budget stretcher and would be great for pot lucks and other gatherings or those nights when you need to throw something together.
The recipe called for 2 cups of already cooked chicken so I used chicken that I had made the night before.
I put the whole thing back in the deep covered baker and baked it. Using the deep covered baker would you to pop this in the microwave for about 20 minutes. I also used reduced fat cream of chicken soup and reduced fat sour cream to cut down on some of the calories and served it over cooked rice.
