The local market has deli chicken on sale so I decided to put this Bacon Chicken Casserole on the menu for supper.
This is a simple recipe that’s fairly quick to put together and doesn’t require a lot of prep time because the chicken is precooked.
If you have leftover chicken give this one a try it’s really good. Enjoy
