Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week is my friend Patricia Nicholes with her Dorito chicken casserole. Patricia says its her husband’s favorite, and I can see why. It looks delicious. I am going to make this.

It doesn’t have lots of ingredients and looks pretty easy — my kind of recipe. Serve with a salad and a bowl of fruit and there you go — perfect meal. Thank you so much Patricia for this wonderful casserole.

Please send me your favorite recipes, and a story to go with them if you have one, and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send the recipes to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.

Thank you and have a wonderful week!
