Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole

published by Trinket on Jul 2, 2010

A good chicken casserole dish for your family.

This is one of my favorite chicken meals to make. I am not a professional, when it comes to preparing a nice chicken meal. But I found this recipe in a magazine and had to give it a shot.  If you are like me, and want to fix something that is pretty quick and easy. Then please give this a shot. I have tried this recipe with my choice of cream soup. I like to use cream broccoli cheese soup or just cream broccoli or just go with your choice of cream soup. I have never used frozen vegetables, like what it calls for. But I am sure that, that would be very good.  I just replace that ingredient with something else. If you do not have frozen vegetable. I have used canned corn to replace frozen.

If you like Chicken, Rice and Campbell’s soup, this will make a great meal .
