Southwest Potato and Chicken Bake

To me, there is something so comforting about a casserole. We rarely had them growing up but I've always loved them. Today is cold and rainy and a perfect day to serve one. This tasty potato bake was so simple and easy that you can even assemble it ahead of time. It was incredible!
