My Cheesy Chicken Casserole Is Tasty and a Great Way to Use Leftovers

The recipe that I have to share with you today for my cheesy chicken casserole is not only delicious, but it is a great way to use leftover chicken, turkey, or ham.  By the time you are done, your family or guests will think you created something special.    Only you will know the real truth!

With just some curry and garlic powder along with some onion, black olives and fresh mushrooms in a delectable cheesy cream sauce,  this dish has a unique flavor that is wonderfully different.  I do hope that the next time you have any leftover poultry or ham that you will try it.

Keep in mind that garlic powder is not the same thing as garlic salt.  Garlic powder is pure dry, pulverized garlic without salt whereas garlic salt contains salt as the first ingredient.

Another awesome chicken recipe that you should try is my oven-fried greaseless chicken.  You won’t miss all that artery-clogging cholesterol from excess grease.
