Golden Chicken Squares

Submitted by CheSara

"YUMMY! Cheesy, easy and wonderful... a kid pleaser! I always use a bit more cheese than it calls for... a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar. I fix it the night before one of those busy days and pop in the oven when I get home... you can also cook immediately. Sooooooooo good."

This was really good! Like you, I used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Very easy to throw together with leftover cooked chicken breasts. Thanks so much for posting!

This is a very good casserole ! I divided the recipe into 2 and froze one for a later use . Very easy to do and tasted really good !

I made this with leftover diced turkey I had in my freezer. This went together very easy and was loved by my whole family! Not an easy feat in my house. DBF who usually doesn't like new foods ate half of the pan of this. I already have been requested to make this one again. A definite keeper! Thanks for the easy and great recipe!

This was loved by all of us, nice and comforting. The only change I had made was to let this sit out for about 20 min. prior to placing it in the oven, something I normally do for refrigerated dishes. Thank You!
