This casserole is the new go-to in my house! It’s yummy, easy, and “cozy-weather food”. There’s a recipe out there called Chicken Divan, ever heard of it? It’s delicious. Well, this is very similar to it. But maybe better…
The original plan was to just make the chicken divan, and add rice. But we decided to switch up the recipe a tad more, and hope for the best. And woo-hoo! It was delish. That’s the cool thing about casseroles, you can’t really mess them up. It turned out perfect!
