Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole

The other day, as we were sitting in front of the TV (don't judge, it was cold outside!), I got a craving.  Good ol' Chicken Casserole.  You know, the one with noodles, cheese and broccoli.  I had some chicken breasts thawing anyway.  I looked through my freezer and pantry, and thanked myself, once again, for being a food hoarder.  Because I had everything I needed on hand to satisfy my craving.  Love it when a last minute plan comes together!

I thought I'd share this. It's a potluck favorite, and super easy!
