Potato-Topped Chicken Casserole image

I found this in my June 2009 issue of TOH's Simple and Delicious. I am posting until I try it - recipe says it is a great freezer meal - can be frozen up to 3 months (and is $1.75 a serving according to them). :) I'll give it a whirl! **serving size is 2 casseroles, 6 servings each approx.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it could have used less butter and cream. But the chicken was cooked perfectly and the potato topping was nice and crispy.

This casserole was easy to make and it turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The potato topping was crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. But the chicken was cooked perfectly and the potato topping was nice and crispy.
