A comfort food classic, macaroni and cheese is even better with veggies, chicken and a crispy topping.

Turn your dinner into a comfort food feast with this easy Macaroni & Cheesy Chicken Baked Casserole. It’s so rich, hearty and creamy…and topped with crispy panko bread crumbs. An absolutely terrific recipe for kids and adults alike! 

Casseroles are a great way to dish up food for a crowd, but they can sometimes be high in fat and calories and low in actual nutrition. The addition of colorful frozen veggies turns this casserole into a one-dish meal that offers needed vitamins and minerals, while still satisfying that comfort food tooth. There is a comfort food tooth, right? 

Here’s how to pull together this delicious casserole. First, whip up a quick, rich cheddar cheese sauce.
