Country Crock recently sent me a casserole kit and a few ingredients including a free coupon for Country Crock to create a recipe challenge. We were given an Easy Mac & Cheese Veggie Chicken Casserole recipe as a starting point for alteration or inspiration. I wanted to make something with vegetables I know my kids would love. Recently, they have been on an olive kit, so I figured that would be the way to entice them to try a new macaroni and cheese. Since I was using olives it made me think of Mediterranean food and thus my casserole was born.
