Mama's Crunchy Chicken Bake Casserole

I am back in action people! Our kitchen is about 90% finished and I can finally cook again! Let me tell you I have been tearing it up in the kitchen ever since I got my stove back!!! Woop! Woop! Not only does cooking excite me, but the fact that I have something to BLOG about and share with you all  makes me super duper happy!

SO to kick off this post kitchen renovation blog spot I am going to tell you about my most recent dish which got a 4 our of 5 star rating from my guests. This dynamite meal is a chicken casserole that my mom used to make when I was a kid. I woke up craving it the other day and I called her for the recipe. It's super easy to make and delicious. I forgot to take a picture before I served it... however this proves how tasty it was considering I was only feeding three people...oops! :)  Enjoy
