I don't know where this casserole originated, but the recipe was given to me some 40 years ago. It's my family's all-time favorite. Not only is it a great "company" meal, it's also well-received at potluck dinners. -Johnie Mae Barber, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This was my first time making chicken casserole and it turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours. The chicken was so tender and the sauce was perfect.
