For a richer flavor, try using cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.
Adding a layer of sliced vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers under the chicken can add extra nutrients and flavor.
To prevent the rice from drying out, ensure the casserole dish is tightly covered with foil during the initial baking period.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

    I loved how simple this was to throw together on a busy weeknight. I used brown rice and it turned out great, although it needed a bit more cooking time.

  • Gus Thiel

    This recipe was so easy to follow and the casserole was a hit with my family! I added some mixed vegetables for extra nutrition.

    My kids are picky eaters, but they both enjoyed this casserole. I'll definitely be making it again!
