This is a tasty chicken casserole that was a favorite of my mom's. It's simple and full of goodness.
I remember my mom telling me how she fixed it for a group of teens for a progressive dinner at the church my dad was pastoring, and then she gasped, thinking maybe those teens wouldn't like that cauliflower, broccoli and carrot combo in the dish.
I will always recall her giggle as she told me 'THEY ATE IT ALL".
Yepper, it's that good - even teenagers will lick their plates clean.
I especially love the water chestnuts, that add crunch, but it tastes
great without them too.
I think this is such a great way to get veggies in your family!

Another easy one, and the addition of water chestnuts would add a nice crunch.
