Cheesy Chicken and Squash Casserole
This comforting American dinner casserole is a great way to use leftover chicken. Yellow squash and onion are simmered with herbs before being combined with the chicken in a baking dish. A creamy, nutmeg-spiked cheese sauce made with Gruyere is poured over the top. The dish is finished with a buttery breadcrumb and cheese topping and baked until golden and bubbling. It serves 6 people and takes about 85 minutes to prepare and cook.
