Creamy Chicken Veggie Casserole Meal in a Jar
This Creamy Chicken Veggie Casserole meal in a jar recipe is adapted from Chef Tess’s version of this meal. One of the things that I love about these meals is how customizable they are!
I use bow tie pasta to change things up a bit, and because really, why pass up an opportunity to use fun-shaped pasta, right?
The green peas and orange carrots add some fun color to the dish, as well as great nutrients. And of course, it’s all nestled in a creamy cheese sauce!
This Creamy Chicken Veggie Casserole is great comfort food to gift to a neighbor or keep in your own food storage.
