Carolyn's Green Chili Chicken Casserole
For the blog post this week we reached out to the amazing women in our lives to crowd source fun recipes. My mother in law and all-around fantastic cook, Carolyn Lincoln, sent us this tried and true crowd pleasing recipe, enjoy!!!
A favorite comfort food of the Lincoln family is my Green Chili Chicken Casserole! Every time the boys would come home from college or to visit this recipe was always requested. The recipe has a lot of variations and over the years I keep adding ingredients to it. You can make it super caloric or try to be a little more heart healthy by using lighter ingredients. It always is a crowd pleaser!
