Casserole Suggestions Needed

[browngirl]

At the school where I work we have all be taking turns cooking for a family who is having Difficulties. I signed up to do this in a couple weeks. (The restrictions: no liver, no goat cheese, nothing raw.)

From helping coordinate the food I noticed that they have gotten lots of lasagne, so if I can I'd rather make something else. I have chicken in the freezer, so a tasty idea that would let me use that would be good, too.

So, any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Does it have to be a casserole? Plain old roasted chicken works well -- reheats fine or can be eaten cold, and is easy to do in quantity.

If you specifically want a casserole, I've had good luck with this: saute onions in fat until limp, then stir in raisins (which you have plumped in water), diced apples, and some curry powder (not all curry is hot). Cook a little (apples shouldn't get totally mushy), then set that aside and brown the chicken in the same pan. Now put chicken in a casserole dish, cover with the other stuff, and bake at 375 until safe (apply meat thermometer). Serve over rice.

Sometimes I add slivered almonds, or sometimes pine nuts, to the pan.

That sounds nice. You could bake the rice in with it. Cook it first?

Casseroles seem to be the order of the day. Meanwhile, this dish you've related to me looks really delicious. What do you call it?
