Preparation

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for a mix of black beans and bell peppers, ensuring the cream of chicken soup is Halal-friendly. Make this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for best flavor melding. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
