This is soooo good and soooo full of "stuff" you will never miss the pointless white carbs it is usually served with. I ate it as is but you could serve it with a mixed green or cucumber salad if you need a little something more. Side note: My Mum said this was her favorite casserole I have ever made. She's said that before though. LOL Mums.
Want to make it a speedy weekday meal: you could use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time. It's a great way to use leftover chicken (or turkey when T-day comes around.)
