Macaroni casserole with cubes of chicken, golden brown panko bread crumb topping. Served in red stoneware baking dish.

In this Chicken Macaroni Casserole I like the flavour of Cream of Celery soup, but you can also try it with Cream of Chicken or mushroom soup. For the cheddar cheese I use a sharp cheddar but any kind will work great.  Sneak in some healthy veggies! Great additions would be peas, carrots or even green beans.

This is a great recipe for using leftover chicken or even rotisserie chicken you buy at the supermarket.

    This was so good! Definitely a “keeper”! Used smoked paprika gave it a great smoky taste. Great way to use leftover chicken!❤️
