Homestyle Chicken Casserole

This is an awesome recipe that will serve up to 8 people. It is really easy to prepare in that it only takes 20 minutes of prep time. It is great meal for the whole family, friends, and guests. It takes less than 30 minutes to cook. This recipe can also be cooked in the microwave which is even better because that means less time in the kitchen and more time with family. It will take about 15 minutes to cook in the microwave.

This is a very nutritional meal because it contains a high content of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. The casserole will save easy covered in the fridge and may be easily reheated in the microwave.  It is a great dish to serve with green salad and garlic bread. I hope that you will enjoy preparing and serving this delicious casserole as much as I do. Enjoy!
