This is really good. A nice change form the ordinary chicken casseroles. It was even better leftover the next day.

I really enjoyed this casserole. The only change I made was to use a fat free cheddar in place of the swiss as it was the only thing I had in the house. It still tasted amazing. Thank you for the quick, tasty meal.
