NOT-SO-FANCY Chessy Chicken Revisited

CCC

You can substitute your favorite grated cheese for the Asiago. Also any type of mushroom works as does canned mushrooms in a pinch. I used homemade chicken broth but canned works well. Use the low sodium if you have it or watch over salting if you regular canned broth.

This is normally a casserole for a crowd. Since crowds are not an "in thing" at this corona-virus moment, I decided to adjust the recipe to four servings and then to split that again into two meals, eating one and freezing the other for another shelter-in-place dinner. Follow the photo to create a NOT-SO-FANCY Cheesy Chicken Casserole.
