Notes: * I prefer to used canned chicken broth and cheese soup. Makes casserole creamier. *
** I have modified this recipe many times! I now season either frozen or fresh chicken breasts with salt and lemon pepper, parsley and dill, then bake accordingly. When cool, I cube and put aside. I then use canned chicken broth or make my own with Better Than Broth. After that, just follow the directions!
