SOUTHWESTERN RANCH CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Southwestern Ranch Chicken Casserole image

This is an easy prep, somewhat healthy, and tasty meal that everyone seems to love when I make it. People of all ages... I came up with this when we didn't have much in our fridge or pantry. I made it with leftovers and what I thought might go together. And it's great for leftovers! My husband and I eat it for lunch the next day too. *NOTE* - These are aproximate measurements. I've never measured. Only threw it together. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! It's pretty difficult to mess this up.
