Chicken And Asparagus Casserole
So easy and a great flavour combination! Popular family recipe. You can cook your own chicken and use the stock or if in a hurry buy a precooked chicken and stock from supermarket. You can make on the day, or the day before and heat just before your guests arrive. Goes well with salad and garlic bread or veges. Servings vary depending on the size of the chicken
