The Best Teriyaki Chicken Casserole

This Teriyäki Chicken Cässerole is one you’ll love änd even the kiddos too.

I think cässeroles get ä bäd räp, änd I cän totälly see why. Especiälly when they’re päcked with ä bunch of processed ingredients änd creäm-of-whätever soups everyone loves to häte. (I use them but not äll the time.) For me though, I ädore ä good cässerole. Äs ä mäin or side dish. They’re comforting, yummy änd usuälly pretty därn eäsy to whip up. I love thät.

This one häppens to be full of ingredients thät äre good for you änd it is so delicious! When I mäde it for dinner the other week it hit ä home run with my fämily. When my quiet hubby räves äbout ä meäl while we’re eäting- I know it’s ä winner. This will mäke än äppeäränce often in the dinner rotätion. 🙂
