Sassy Chicken & Rice Casserole

Here is a quick meal that your family will love. Especially if you have kiddos who love to dip their chips into everything or a husband who has a love of crunchy goodness. As you all know by now I love experimenting with food, so I always find it fascinating when HH comes across a recipe that he would like me to prepare. Alas, this was one of his choices. A creamy interior with loads of protein and vegetables topped with chips, it is a win, win for any family occasion.


This entree I am glad to report had no leftovers.
