Chicken Casserole – Quick and Easy

When I was growing up, my mom would make a chicken casserole, similar to what is in the above photo.  I figured out an easier way to make it, and it takes less than 20 minutes!

Chicken Casserole and Biscuits

Start cooking a bag of mixed veggies in a sauce pan.

Next, put a package of biscuits in the oven, and bake according to package directions.

While they are baking, cook a double batch of  cream soup mix in a large soup pot.  When it starts to thicken, add pre-cooked, diced chicken.  

Once the veggies are cooked, drain them and to the large pot.

When biscuits are done, put one in a bowl, and top with the casserole mixture.

Crock Pot Chicken Salsa

Toss all of it in the crock pot and mix well.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Add your favorites toppings to make chicken tacos or taco salad.
