What’s the difference between yellow squash and green squash?

Yellow squash is a type of summer squash, much like green squash, which has a thin, edible skin. They’re usually picked before the skin has a chance to thicken up and become inedible like the squash skin on things like acorn or butternut squash!

Here’s what you’ll need to make a chicken and yellow squash casserole:

This recipe uses boneless skinless chicken breasts but you can use whatever you have on hand. If you have cooked chopped or shredded chicken on hand already, even better.

A nice hack for this recipe is to just grab a rotisserie chicken that’s cooked and you can add that into the casserole for a full meal that’s ready in no time!

We will also be using yellow squash, olive oil, chicken or veggie broth, onions, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup (substitute another cream of style soup if you need to), along with some chicken flavored stuffing mix, butter, and salt and pepper!

This recipe is pretty simple and it has simple ingredients. That’s part of the magic of it all. This recipe comes together easily and quickly so that you don’t have to overthink meal times!
