When I was a kid, my absolute favorite food was pizza. I literally could eat pizza for every single meal and never get sick of it. Now, as an adult, I tend to gravitate towards chicken. If you were to ask my daughter, she would say that I only make chicken and broccoli. She’s kind of not wrong! The other night, I wanted to combine my favorite food from my past with my current favorite. This pizza chicken casserole was super easy to throw together and absolutely delicious. In fact, I didn’t even get to have the leftovers. Both kids ate it the next day for lunch!

A Few Tips
Everyone in the house loved this pizza chicken casserole. In fact, it will be something I definitely make at least once a month.
