Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole

This is a quick and easy casserole dish that is great for using up leftovers. I love having this no-fuss recipe on hand for those hectic days. Simply combine all ingredients in a baking dish and cook for about an hour. You can even assemble it a day or two ahead and keep it in the fridge if you are anticipation a particularly busy day. Simply toss it in the oven an hour before supper.

I often cook one of those whole frying chickens for dinner (usually in the slow cooker) and since it's only my husband and I, we always have leftovers. This is a great way to use up leftover chicken, or you could even use other leftover meats such as pork or beef. For a vegetarian side dish you can omit the meat. This casserole will serve about 3 people if that's all you're making, but if you pair it with other side dishes, it will go much further. You can also easily double this recipe and cook in a 9x13 pan.

(makes 3-4 servings 9x9 pan)
