Fix this casserole for dinner and enjoy the time you save!

I recently talked with my adult daughter about what she remembered about how I handled chores when our kids were younger.

She commented on the fact that I had a set list of chores with each child doing one 15-20 minute task every day, and that I planned out our meals.

Being able to sit down and think of 10 meals your family would love, shop for all the ingredients at once and do the prep and cooking in one slot of time saved me hours of work later.

I used to think of it as cooking it forward. Not only did it save on the cooking time, but the biggie was the clean-up.

Think about it, if all you have to do is put prepped ingredients together and put it in the oven, that is a huge saving of time.

This recipe is one that you can prep weeks before by just having the chicken cooked and cubed.

Kristyne of Lil’ Luna also saves time by cooking ahead. Now that is one smart Cook! Thanks for the useful tip.

You can buy cooked, chopped chicken, but I like to bake my chicken earlier in the morning. I usually line a cookie sheet with foil, add some chicken breast and drizzle a little bit of olive oil and lemon pepper. I cook at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

Quick Tip: If you are not a big fan of celery go ahead and swap out that ingredient for green beans, broccoli, or zucchini. Seriously, this is a great recipe to cater to your families preferences.
