My Mother's Cheese & Chicken Casserole
"I found a delightful little box in my bottom turnaround. It was labeled recipes. I sifted through and separated all the hand written ones. This us another of my mothers, oddly enough I don't remember it, but it will be tried soon I'll report back.
** On request - the chicken should be diced into very small pieces and it should be able to go in raw and cook through in the 60 minutes but should you prefer, cooked may be used **"

Wow! This is sooooo good! I used leftover cooked chicken for this. It's really creamy and cheesy. I mixed some cheese into the first layer as well as on the top. Perfect use for leftover poultry. Thanx for sharing. -
I made this with instant rice instead of bread. I also cut down the eggs to 2 & the milk to 2 cups. I cooked the chicken pieces before hand. Then I combined everything in a casserole dish & cooked on 350 for 30 minutes. My picky daughter ate 2 helpings. Thanks for the recipe... Made for 123 HITS -
This came out good but there was some confusion in making it. First off, I didn't know whether to use diced cooked chicken or raw chicken cut up. I used the raw since it was going to be cooking for 50 minutes. I did sub 1 box of stuffing mix for the bread as we had 5 boxes of stuffing that my mom wanted to get rid of. All in all, I think it was good but it needs a little tweaking first.

I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other [boys] all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out - I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war - Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

I love to cook and to bake and to watch people enjoy the food that I make, and most of all I enjoy this 'practice' period I have - to prepare me for when I have a family of my own :)
