CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH TOMATOES AND LIMA (BROAD) BEANS
We had this for dinner tonight - it was scrumptious. One of the things I like about this dish is that you can cook up a batch and stick it in the freezer for a night when you couldn't be bothered cooking. It's also quite low in fat.

PANTRY CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Using pantry items plus a couple of fresh items, you can create a cheesy, comforting casserole your whole family will love. Though it does include RO*TEL® and a can of mild green chile peppers, it's not spicy, but if you like the heat, choose hot RO*TEL® and peppers. This pantry chicken casserole reheats well, too, but I had to hide it, or there would have been no night #2! A crusty bread and a green salad complete this easy pantry meal.
