Aunt Liz's Chicken Casserole

I looked in my freezer the other day and thought wow, we really need to clean this out.  The door didn't want to shut and there was a few things that we had forgotten about.  so I began to look through and get rid of some things that had been around too long, but low and behold in the bottom drawer there was a package marked Casserole Chicken. Date was still good and we needed to have a few items ready to cook that week with all of the kids activities going on.  I pulled out our handy binder of favorite meals and found this little gem.
