Love all your recipes. I just made this and it is so good. I used the Costco pre made shredded chicken. So very easy. I made some cilantro/line rice to serve with it. Really Great taste.
I love this recipe so much! It has become a staple at our house. I am making a bunch of freezer meals for my brother and his family while he goes through chemo. Do you think this would freeze well?
This casserole should freeze and reheat well – the tomatoes may soften, but it shouldn’t affect the overall texture too badly
