30 minute meal: Speedy Chicken & Mushroom Casserole

There are some nights when I just need something quick and easy to cook and some nights when I want to try a recipe I’ve been dying to try (but the husband won’t want). I love those nights when I get to combine both of these wants. A recipe I had my eye on for some weeks I found on the taste website – Speedy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole. With just a few ingredients and 30 minutes you can have a delicious dinner that all the family will love.
