My Mother's Cheese & Chicken Casserole

I found a delightful little box in my bottom turnaround. It was labeled recipes. I sifted through and separated all the hand written ones. This us another of my mothers, oddly enough I don't remember it, but it will be tried soon I'll report back. ** On request - the chicken should be diced into very small pieces and it should be able to go in raw and cook through in the 60 minutes but should you prefer, cooked may be used **
