Chicken and Rice Casserole

When it comes to quick, easy and delicious dinners, nothing comes close to my Chicken and Rice Casserole! This is a family favorite in our house because it tastes absolutely amazing. The kids simply love it and I love it too because it is so easy to prepare.

I can make it in the morning and it will be ready to bake in the oven when I get home. Once cooked, the chicken is unbelievably juicy and tender, the rice is cooked perfectly and there is a creamy rich flavorful sauce. What’s not to love about this casserole?

I use scallions, broccoli, and tomato in my chicken and rice casserole, but you could add bell peppers, mushrooms or any other vegetables you like to change it up.
