Grandma's Recipe Box: Creamy Baked Chicken

I personally do not remember eating this casserole at grandma's house.  However, it seems very familiar so I think my mom must have made this for us or something very similar.  My brothers loved almost anything made with noodles, spaghetti, or macaroni especially if cheese was included too.  My mom liked dishes made with pasta as they went further and often cost less for her large family.  Once she started working outside-the-home, for quick meals we had a lot of Hamburger Helper!
