Easy Chicken Casserole

Easy Chicken Casserole

By: Naomi Sherman

Gran had to feed a large family on a budget, so simple, healthy and filling recipes were her mainstay. You can stretch it as far as you need to with extra vegetables. Any cut of chicken will work, too. Gran used cream in hers, but I’ve swapped it for light evaporated milk. Try it for yourself and see why she was my hero.
