How Do You Make Chicken Ole Casserole?

I recently saw an episode of the 1980's sitcom "Mama's Family" in which one of the character's made Chicken Ole Casserole. I was not familiar with this dish before and I'd like to take a crack at making it. Is anyone familiar with ow to make this dish? It sounds good!. Also, can you please provide background on it, where does it originate from? Thank you very much!

This is even better the next day and would make a great lunch at 8 servings!! Very easy to take to work and reheat also!!
