CHICKEN AVOCADO CASSEROLE

This comes together quickly and is a wonderful dinner paired with a good rice dish and a green salad. Note that the recipe calls for the chicken breasts to be steamed before baking. I just put them in a large steamer basket and cooked them for about 15 minutes while I was getting the rest of the recipe ready to bake. Just make it again last night and it is still excellent! 10/2011
