Chicken Casserole With Tomatoes and Lima (Broad) Beans image

We had this for dinner tonight - it was scrumptious. One of the things I like about this dish is that you can cook up a batch and stick it in the freezer for a night when you couldn't be bothered cooking. It's also quite low in fat.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.
