I promise your family will love it too so here’s the recipe.

  4. We are trying to do less wheat. Do you think you could either do this over baked potatoes or rice, or use recipe as is substituting cottage potatoes for the pasta?
  5. Can you think of a way to do this without sour cream? Looks delish but I have a kiddo w/ dairy allergies (I already have a dairy free cheddar cheese) Thanks!
  6. I like your ideas but found that when chicken has been cooked more than once the texture becomes dry and I don’t care for it. I will try making the Southwest Chicken Casserole, it sounds delicious.
