This is a recipe that I hope gets passed down. Everyone seems to like it. We make it as a main dish when I make it with chicken. We also make it a side when omitting the chicken. We will then have grilled chicken with it.

CHICKEN AVOCADO CASSEROLE



Chicken Avocado Casserole image

This comes together quickly and is a wonderful dinner paired with a good rice dish and a green salad. Note that the recipe calls for the chicken breasts to be steamed before baking. I just put them in a large steamer basket and cooked them for about 15 minutes while I was getting the rest of the recipe ready to bake. Just make it again last night and it is still excellent! 10/2011
