Story

This recipe was one of those "we have nothing in the house to eat" creations. I had a loaf of Italian bread leftover in the refrigerate and it was just shy of getting stale. With just a few passes through the freezer and pantry, the rest was a cinch.
Of course, if you don't have chicken strips in your freezer, leftover cooked chicken or even some sausage would be just fine. The cheese I used was a mix of shredded cheese from several bags that were just about empty, but not quite. This is the ultimate 'use it up' dish.
