Today the weather turned grey and dull and very rainy throughout the day , summer is almost gone and it felt a bit like autumn . So it's really nice to cook a hearty meal for the family to enjoy . Since the kids really love chicken , I have no choice but to think up 110 ways to cook chicken . one of my most favourite ways is to make a chicken casserole . There are so many great ways to combine the chicken in a casserole without it always tasting the same .
I love combining a great vegetable into it as well so the kids are getting greens in their diet as well . One of my favourite casseroles is a Louisiana casserole with lady fingers or Okra , it's super tasty and healthy , anyone would love it . I've been using this recipe which is easy to make and quickly ready today I would love to share it with you guys .
