How To Make scaloppini chicken casserole (sallye)
-
Step 1***You can make your own stuffing instead of using prepackaged. ****If you use sour cream instead of heavy cream, you may have to add a little more milk

-
Step 3Cut partially frozen chicken breasts into bite sized cubes, season with salt and pepper, and set aside
