Grandma's Recipe Box: Vennie's Chicken Casserole

Got chicken and looking for an easy recipe?  Below is a main dish from my Grandmother's recipe box.  It is very simple to put together.  I'm sure my Grandma just used the "gravy" that the recipe makes as a topping on mashed potatoes or for Grandpa to do his favorite method to "sop-up" using her homemade biscuits or buns. My Grandma had another Creamy Baked Chicken recipe with macaroni.

I have seen similar recipes that include 2 cups of rice cooked under the chicken with either a cup or a can of chicken broth mixed into the soups before pouring over the chicken.  You could try that or make the rice (or noodles) separate and top it with the casserole.  If you want another rice and chicken options, try my spouse's Chicken Rice Casserole with bacon too. If you do not have rice, but you do have tortillas or chips, try my mother's Chicken Tortilla Casserole or the quick Chicken Chalupa Casserole.
