Simple Chicken Casserole: Foodie Friday

Chicken Casserole

Chicken Casserole is such a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. After the holidays you can usually find cream of something soup on sale: I usually buy the cream of mushroom or celery. Any type is fine for this recipe. You might even consider making your own.  Food writer Julie McGuire has a good recipe Substitute for Cream Soup. 

The following recipe is definitely meant to be a guide. You can alter the amount of chicken, rice and vegetables.

Swedish Meatballs

I can't remember the last time I made Swedish Meatballs. Meatballs are so much fun to make with little ones. What a kid friendly and adult pleasing meal. We enjoy them with a side of buttered egg noodles and Lingonberry or cranberry sauce. A dark green veggie like kale or spinach is a nice compliment to this dish.
