What to Serve with Chicken Casserole Recipes
Most easy chicken casserole recipes are pretty hearty. They generally have a creamy texture, are carb heavy and are best paired with something a little lighter.
Each casserole might be different, but serving with a nice green side salad is always a good option. Depending on which veggies are in your casserole, you can also serve with a side of veggies like asparagus or broccoli.
Storage and Freezing
While every casserole recipe might have slightly different instructions, this is a guideline for most.
How to Store Casseroles
You can store any leftover casseroles in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last up to three days. I would avoid just covering the baking dish or pan with foil. Airtight containers keep food fresher for longer.
How to Freeze a Casserole
Casseroles actually do freeze really well. Check out my guide for how to freeze a casserole for more specific instructions.
