Chicken Avocado Casserole (With Mushrooms) image

Found this recipe on another web site. My DH loves this dish & I've served it several times to dinner company. It's been tweeked it to our preference. If you don't like yogurt, you can substitute sour cream (or another heavy cream).

Not a fan of this recipe. The flavors didn't quite come together for me.
