NANNY'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Nanny's Chicken Casserole image

This is my Grandmother's recipe for chicken casserole. It is by far the best comfort food in the world. I usually double the recipe to allow for plenty of leftovers. FYI this recipe can get rather salty so I use the reduced sodium StoveTop when I can find it, if it's not available I use reduce sodium soups. Some in our family like to pair this with cranberry sauce.
