I’d rather have a bucket of fried chicken than cheesy chicken any day!

Two years ago we had had snow upon snow and another storm Christmas Day. Since I couldn’t drive in it I planned on scratching our plans to go to friends up in the mountains because we simply couldn’t get there and put away all of my ingredients for scalloped potatoes. Well they were so upset they *insisted* they send their adult son in his monster truck to get us and bring us home.
Needless to say the potatoes were not made. I rushed to put them together to cook up there and get ready (hah! wash face and brush teeth was all I had time for).
Well the cream in the potatoes goes almost to the top and their daughter offered to hold the foil wrapped pan on the treacherous drive up. (I was prepared…I even had the pan on a cookie sheet). It was a disaster! She was covered in garlic cream and the casserole was missing 1/2 of what it needed…
Hope you feel better about merely “dropping” your casserole!

Cheesy Chicken sounds good. I’ll try it. Here’s one that I got from Relief Society when I was 20 years old. I’m still making it 30 years later. People and my family really like it. I also use a cooked chicken from the deli to save time. Easy and good.
Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Parmesan cheese
Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
Butter a 13×9 casserole dish. Add broccoli to the bottom then
layer chicken peices on top. In another bowl mix, soup, mayo, and
lemon juice; Pour over chicken; Sprinkle with parmesan cheese (to
cover surface) and then sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

I usually take stuffed shells, a loaf of bread and salad.

I did something very similar a few years ago. I was taking soup to a family and when I opened the door, I discovered that it had tipped over in the car. Luckily I had made a huge batch, so I came home and got my family’s portion and took it over. It was not fun to clean out the floor of the car though!
This recipe sure looks yummy, can’t wait to try it out.
