This cheesy chicken recipe has been a family favorite of ours for years. Topped with cashews for a little crunch!

Today’s recipe is one I got years ago from Julie, a friend from church.

She and I were taking dinner into another friend who had just had a baby.

Julie fixed Cheesy Chicken because it was our friends favorite dish.

I made the salad and dessert.  I was also in charge of delivering the dinner.

Now for one of my finer moments….

Cheesy Chicken

I pulled into the new mom’s driveway, parked and got out of the car to get the food from the other side of the car where I had put it.  I opened the car door.  During the trip over the food had shifted and the casserole dish full of wonderful, hot, bubbly and cheesy chicken came crashing out of the car onto the cement driveway!

I couldn’t believe it!  I had to go to the door and tell this family that their dinner was now dripping down their driveway!  I was so embarrassed!!

They were of course very understanding, and the husband got out the hose and washed their dinner down the drain!!

Cheesy Chicken

I went off to the grocery store to pick up some fried chicken!

Despite that horrible experience, Cheesy Chicken has become one of our family favorites and is a dish I often take when I am asked to take dinner to someone.  I ALWAYS check before I open the car door now though!!!

Cheesy Chicken

Do you have a favorite dish you always take when you are asked to take dinner into someone?  I’d love for you to leave the recipe in the comment section so we can all see!  I need a few new ideas!

Our favorite side dish to serve Cheesy Chicken with is rice pilaf.    I love to use this pan to cook my Cheesy Chicken in.

So here’s our favorite – Cheesy Chicken!

    I had a suitcase full of someone else’s dishes fall out of the back of my car! I was returning them to their owner after an event at our church. Had to order 3 to replace the ones that were broken. My favorite easy meal to take to folks is White Chicken Enchiladas. In fact, I’m taking them to a friend Tuesday. (https://www.joyfulmommaskitchen.com/white-chicken-enchiladas/) I use rotisserie chicken. The recipe calls for flour taco shells, but it’s supposed to be flour tortillas.
