Chicken Casserole Recipes

As a mother and grandmother busy, I'm always looking for ways of preparing delicious meals for my family ... for busy nights when I do not have hours to spend in the kitchen. To resolve this problem, I would like to make casseroles and freeze for future meals.

When I do these three recipes, I am all in one day. You can freeze your baking dishes, but I would go to the dollar store and buy disposable paper baking pans. I can usually get 3 for $ 1.00. I let them cool completely, then wrap well to freezing. They will keep in the freezer for six months.
