Chicken Tortilla & Rice Casserole

Submitted by JenJenMarie

"I got the original recipe when I worked at Lowell Farms, an organic rice company. I originally used their organic jasmine rice in this recipe. It is very good and has a distinct tast much different than regular white rice. It gives the dish a lot of flavor. It is hard for me to find unless I go back to my hometown. I added chicken to the recipe to make it a main dish. I have not made this in a long time and just recently found my recipe again. I am posting for safe keeping. http://www.lowellfarms.com"
