One of my favorite things to make for dinner is a casserole. We typically can get at least two nights out of the one dish and I always make them kid friendly. That allows one less night of cooking for me and the kids eat it all up without complaining. Win-win, right?? This casserole always makes the kids excited since I let them sprinkle additional cheese on top of it when it comes out of the oven. For them, that is the best part 🙂
Since cheese is a favorite in my house, I knew this new casserole would be a hit. I went to the store a few days ago and picked up a few blocks of Crystal Farms cheese. We prefer using that brand due to it being a natural product with no preservatives, a rich source of calcium, gluten free, and lactose tolerant. It is typically found in the refrigerated dairy section of stores. In fact, they are allowing one lucky follower of our page the opportunity to win a blue serving dish from Crystal Farms Cheese. All you need to do is comment on this post below and tell us what yummy recipe you would add their cheese too. We will randomly select a winner on Monday, Feb 16, and that person will have the serving dish sent out to them immediately. Fun, huh??
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
