For an extra layer of flavor, sauté some diced onion and garlic in butter before adding them to the chicken and rice mixture. Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as frozen peas, carrots, or broccoli florets. If you don't have white bread, you can use any type of bread or even crackers for the topping. To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it up to the baking step, cover it tightly with foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time when baking from cold.
