  • 3 cups milk

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup minced onion

  • 1/4 cup green pepper

    Place chicken in greased casserole dish. Beat eggs, milk, and flour together in bowl, and add salt, pepper, onion, green pepper, and corn. Pour over chicken. Bake at 325-F for 1 hour or longer--until custard is set and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serves 6-8.
