This is a perfect casserole for using leftover chicken! Nice and creamy, and loved the broccoli/mushroom combination. I used a dish that was 11x7 but deep, so I only needed 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. This is an easy dish that I know I will make again - thanks for sharing!

Started with the base recipe. Used 1 can chicken and 1 can mushroom soup. Also used lasagne sheets. Reckon crispy bacon and maybe some cheese on top would add extra flavour.
