Mix or layer:
Cut up chicken
cooked rice or pasta
sauteed chopped onions
your choice of vegetables (cooked carrots, peas, green beans,
mushrooms, chopped broccoli, etc.)
your choice of sauce (bechamel/white sauce with or without cheese,
hollandaise, bearnaise, or your family's favorite)

optional--some kind of topping (buttered bread or cracker crumbs,
pie crust, mashed potatoes, etc.)

Mix the above with your choice of seasonings or layer in a casserole or
other ovenproof container. Bake until bubbly and hot throughout.

Serve with a mixed green or fruit salad. Fresh biscuits, rolls or
muffins are good, too, if you can stand the extra carbs.
