Chicken Au Gratin image

This casserole has the potatoes and chicken baked together in one dish, smothered in the most wonderful-tasting cheese sauce...a favorite supper at our house....if you don't have any cooked chicken, this can be made with cooked turkey or cubed cooked ham, or even cooked shrimp, any way that you choose to make it this is a real winner.
