Easy Chicken Macaroni Casserole

This recipe is nice because your whole family will enjoy it. I say this because it is hard finding dishes that all four of my kids will eat and that my husband and I enjoy as well. :) I also season, cook, shred, and freeze chicken ahead of time.  This makes at least one step of some of my recipes a lot easier because all I have to do is pull it out of the freeze & thaw and that part is done. Gotta love that!! :)
I hope that you enjoy this dish as well. It's good!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped onions (to be completely honest, I omit the onions to make it kid friendly but it is still good)  ;)

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup milk
• 3 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
