This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I would reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not a fan of casseroles, but this one was actually pretty good. The chicken was moist and the sauce was flavorful.

This casserole is easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. I like to add a bit of chopped broccoli or cauliflower to the casserole for extra veggies.
