Hearty Veggie Chicken Casserole image

I found this recipe in a cookbook we received as a wedding gift and altered it to fit my family's tastes. Now, I always cook enough extra chicken so we can have this casserole the next day. My husband and daughters rush to the table when they know it's on the menu. -Janet Applin, Gladstone, Michigan
