Introducing my ‘Tasty Chicken Casserole’, this dish has simple everyday ingredients including chicken, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, tomatoes, herbs and chicken stock or broth. Everything goes in one pot before being placed in the oven to bubble away. For such simple food we are always so wonderfully surprised at how delicious this meal is every time. This is best served with brown rice. Enjoy!
For an added healing boost this is a perfect way to use up some homemade chicken bone broth, however store bought or vegetable stock also works well with this dish.
