OMG this was soooooo good! I found this recipe by total accident. I received my email from Food.com for different casserole dishes, not into casseroles and in the bottom of the page was your recipe title. Looked interesting so I checked it out. Had all the ingredients in the house, looked easy to make. Went perfect with chicken. Followed recipe as written. Will agree on a couple of comments, would love to try stuffing on the top, and also not use minute rice, use the real deal. My husband ate three servings and took the rest for lunch today! The one thing I would change in your instructions is to use a 1 1/2 quart not a one quart baking dish. I knew once I mixed it that it would not fit. It's a keeper!!!!! Will def make again! -
My husband and I love this casserole! He actually went with family to visit a relative and came hold and told me that he ordered this casserole at the nice restaurant the went to and said their casserole could not hold a candle to how I make it with this recipe. Very easy to make and saves well, if we don't eat it all on the spot yum yum! I do leave out the onion just because I don't usually cook with onion. -
This was WONDERFUL and very, very quick and easy. I had most ingredients on hand. I did substitute Campbell's Cream of Broccoli for the soup. Instead of Ritz (which I will use next time) I used buttered Italian style bread crumbs mixed with a small handful of Parmesan. I also added a bit of cracked pepper and a dash of milk. It was so, so good. Thank you! My 4y/o and 9y/o sons, my husband, and my picky-eating pregnant self loved it. -

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
