CHICKEN SALAD CASSEROLE
This recipe was given to me by my Aunt Anita, the queen of organization. She puts a spread on the table that would take your breath and never stresses, always has a clean house and a smile on her face. The reason is - she uses recipes such as this one. She prepares ahead of time, freezes, and then the day of the dinner party, all she has to do is thaw and cook. Wonderful for potlucks.
