This is my favorite! I love this salad casserole so much because it hits every spot. Easy to make and so freakin delicious! I used mostly some leftover chicken, and if I feel like going green I add some celery, and green pepper in it too and it’s amazing! This has a nice texture with creamy chicken and crunchy potatoes. I always double the recipe because my family is also crazy in love with this salad casserole. It’s gooey, it’s crunchy, it’s salty, it’s creamy – a real winner! This is a definite keeper, a handy recipe, that’s worth making not just once. This has been my go-to family meal, it’s rich, has an amazing balance of creamy and lots of crunch, and can easily be paired with some green salad for a weeknight dinner that the whole family enjoys.
