The Bishop's Potluck Chicken Sage Casserole

Potlucks are a pastime among the Amish.  Whether they be for after-church gatherings or other occasions, Amish cooks are quintessential casserole queens.  There's not much they can't whip up in a hearty, satisfying meal to feed a crowd. Chicken is usually plentiful and combine it with some noodles and you have a winner in this potluck chicken sage casserole.  Casseroles are just the best for feeding a crowd because people can just spoon it out onto their plate in a serving line and the meal is very portable, easy to transport in a buggy or in the basket of a bike!  Fix this for your next church outing and you can be guaranteed that it will be a big hit.  Serves great as leftovers also!  Can also be frozen and thawed out for later use.
