This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very affordable meal to make. I was able to feed my family of four for under $10.

I'm not a fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The curry flavor is very mild and it's not overpowering at all. I would definitely make this again.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the creamy grits and the chicken. I also liked that I could sneak in some healthy vegetables without them even noticing.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the grits were creamy and cheesy. The curry flavor was just right - not too spicy, but still flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
