CHINESE CHICKEN CASSEROLE SURPRISE



Chinese Chicken Casserole Surprise image

Chinese-style ingredients like almonds, water chestnuts, mushrooms, celery and chow mein noodles combine with a creamy broth, soup and milk mixture - and chicken, of course - to form this casserole. The name comes from the fact that people who have it seem to be pleasantly surprised and wonder what is in it. This is a good recipe for potlucks, etc., as it can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until ready to bake.

ORIENTAL CHICKEN CASSEROLE

This recipe came from the back of an instant rice box. Its a good one if you are in a hurry to cook dinner. It tastes pretty good too. You can add things you normally like in this type of casserole and that's what makes it so versatile. Sometimes, I even add a hotter, spicy flavor to it, depending on our mood at the time. Cook time does not include time to cook zucchini.
