Chicken Chili and Thyme Casserole

Chicken Chili and Thyme Casserole

 As a millennial, I am embarrassed to say that I didn’t watch Gilmore Girls growing up. I saw a couple episodes here and there by mistake or when nothing else was on but I was definitely not as devoted as my peers. Fast forward 10 years and I am on that train like no other!!…
