Hi all! I am back from my trip…and I will be sharing a lot of fun details mid week. I hope you had a beautiful fall weekend where you live:) Starting off the week with this really yummy chicken casserole. It is creamy and tasty…and quite healthy too!
Usually the word casserole and canned soup go hand in hand. I love this recipe because it is all basic ingredients….you can add in whatever veggies your family likes…and it heats up fabulously so you can make it ahead. This is a recipe that everyone will love…it is hearty and perfect for those busy fall nights. Make some on Sunday and have ready whenever your crew is ready to eat:) To make it even easier…pick up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery…
If you don’t have chicken already cooked…here is a quick tip: On a baking sheet, place a sheet of parchment paper. On top place 4 boneless chicken breast. Bake on 325 for 30 minutes. When chicken is cooked, immediately place in your kitchen aid mixer (put guard on top, mixing blade) turn on 5 until chicken is all shredded up. Easy…no cutting involved!

My husband and I were just talking about how we needed something new to cook. This looks delicious (and I LOVE the easy Kitchenaid instructions) Never thought about shredding up chicken in there. Thanks for the tips!
