Chicken and Asparagus Au Gratin

Recipe #281174 | 1 hour | 25 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MacV

The recipe is from a Betty Crocker cookbook, 1954, and I use it frequently. I've tried it with ham instead of chicken and other green vegetables but it was not good. Use fresh asparagus--I steam pieces for about 2 min. I always make a double batch and freeze one. For color, I like to serve with Harvard beets, or in summer with sliced tomatoes.
