Unforgettable Chicken Casserole

Written By Christie DeHaan

This casserole has all the feel-good warmth and heartiness of a regular chicken casserole but without the carb-filled stuffing. It was a little hard to wrap my head around water chestnuts being in a casserole because yuck they’re water chestnuts. But our family LOVES this casserole. And it doesn’t leave you hating yourself, even if you overindulge.
