I made this recipe on 3/5/12 for the " I Recommend Tag Game " and as part of mine and my SO's dinner.Since it was just the two of us, the recipe was cut in half. When I was sprinkling the poultry seasoning over the chicken a bit of garlic powder was also added. Also while the sauce was being made, I added some salt and pepper. After putting everything into a greased pan, I realized that some more milk should have been added to the sauce ( but at that point it was too late ;) ). But we both really enjoyed the taste,and hope to make it again very soon. " Keep Smiling :) " P.S. Thanks for " Recommending " this Sydney Mike :)

I took a few shortcuts here, but only because I always have cooked & diced chicken breasts in the freezer, just waiting to be used! I also substituted Milton's Multi-Grain Crackers for the Ritz ones, but followed the recipe the rest of the way! Half of this was taken to a house-bound neighbor couple along with parts of several other recipes I'd made & as usual, we were all most satisfied! This particular casserole is one I plan to make another time for an up-coming potluck, so thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current round of Pick A Chef]
