Chicken Macaroni Casserole is quick and easy recipe to make. A yummy, cheesy casserole the kids will love that is perfect for those busy weekday dinners.
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.
