My love for casseroles know no bounds 🙂 I think the type of recipe I make most in my house has to be Mac and Cheese – it is yummy and easy to make
I want to take my traditional mac and cheese dish and give it a twist – add in some veggies ( to keep the cost down I used frozen veggies )
I also added chicken into the mix to increase the amount of protein – overall everyone loved the dish
Now this recipe is not traditionally gluten free. I did not make this recipe gluten – free but you can totally do with the following changes
Gluten Free pasta and gluten free bread crumbs – use the same measurements
You can also substitute almond milk for the 2% milk I used – same measurements
Also you can change what veggies you use – my dad chose the type we used for the Easy Mac and Cheese Veggie Chicken Casserole Recipe
My dad cooked the chicken in a skillet with a small amount of oil – dash of salt and pepper
Here is my dad cooking – of course the bird clock is still there ( if you do not know that * cough* bird clock chirps every hours REALLY loudly drives me up the wall)
You have to love the reflection of my dad in the serving spoon ( thanks dad for holding the spoon for me 🙂 )
This dish is more than enough to feed 6 people – I do suggest serving it with a light salad 🙂 The dish also reheats very well — but it gets a little dry ( that is what happened when I reheated a portion for my husband the next day )
Also I need to tell you of my obsession of those salt and pepper shakers! I LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH ! I have been binge buying vintage salt and pepper shakers ( I have a huge haul coming up)

Veggie chicken casserole sounds really good. I was just wondering if you used frozen or fresh veggies in it. And I did want to mention that the font used for the recipe makes it a bit difficult to read. Thanks!
