This is very, very rich. We enjoyed it, but I think if I do it again I will add more tabasco sauce -- it just seems to need a little something extra. I made it just as it is written. This might be a good make ahead meal though, as I liked it better the second day!

Hi Tish, made your Pecan Chicken casserole for dinner last night...it was totally awesome! I basiclly made it just as the recipe stated, no changes, although i did increase the shredded cheese, and the onions, and I did add minced fresh garlic (gotta have that garlic!), it turned out just wonderful, my DH and son just raved about it, very tasty! We love casseroles at our house.... I had some leftover cooked chicken, and wanted to use it up, this fit the bill perfectly.... it had a wonderful topping, very tasty casserole... thank you Tish for a delicious recipe...I will certainly make this again :-)

I made this for dinner tonight. I thought it was more of a quiche than a casserole. Both my husband and I thought it was okay with extra hot pepper sauce. It was good but "missing" something. I read a reviewer that stated it tasted better tomorrow so I look forward to that. Good but not excellent! I reheated the dish for another meal tonight but unfortunately it didn't do anything for me. I might add that the presentation isn't very appealing...anyways that's my review I won't be making it again.
