Chicken casserole..

I was inspired for tonights dinner by Rachael Ray doing casserole week this week. I made a yummy chicken casserole that was super easy and took no time at all..here's how I made it

3 chicken breasts
carrots
onion
pasta
butter
flour
milk
cheese
seasoning

I started by poaching the chicken in some water with the carrots and onion and salt and pepper and various spices such as sage. When cooked drain off the liquid and set  the liquid back on to boil, let the chicken cool. Cook the pasta in the poaching liquid, I threw in a can of peas also. In another pot melt a couple tablespoons of butter and add a couple tablespoons of flour, make a rue. Add milk and cheese, I added some leftover mushroom soup I had from lunch! For the cheese I used cheese strings because that is what I had on hand. I pulled the chicken apart and tossed it with the pasta and veggies in a casserole dish then poured the cheese sauce over the whole thing. I topped that with some bread crumbs I made from leftover bread and parsley. I put all of it in the oven at 400 degrees for a half an hour or until browned and bubbly. I can always tell how good it is if the kids eat it and this one was gobbled up!
