CHICKEN & SQUASH CASSEROLE



Chicken & Squash Casserole image

Adapted from a recipe in one of my books. This is a great autumn/winter casserole - very tasty and ever so healthy! I've given the directions for cooking in the oven but this can easily be done in a crock pot as well - just follow steps 2 and 3 and fling it all in the crock pot, cooking on low for 8 hours.

MEXICAN SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE



Mexican Summer Squash Casserole image

This is a hearty vegetable casserole with a Mexican flair and with the addition of leftover/cooked chicken, it can become a great dinner casserole. The heat can easily be varied by changing the amount of green chiles, adding jalapenos, or by adjusting the amount of spice in the salsa.
