My friend Pat Fair made this casserole for us when we first moved to Alabama. It quickly became a favorite in our house. I don't know exactly why it is called OLE`, but it sure is tasty. Pat served it to us for Lunch after Church and the tradition continues at our house.

Serve this with rice or rice vermicelli noodles, or tuck it into a lettuce cup or pita with yogurt and fresh herbs. You could also trade the chicken for tofu, shrimp or cubed pork shoulder.
