Loved this casserole. This is just the flavor that I have been looking for. May add broccoli but was wonderful as is.

What a wonderful chicken and rice recipe!!! We have always loved (my kids favorite meal) my sisters recipe for recipe#269300, which we have always had over egg noodles, but I had heard others had it with rice, so I had to try your version. Definitely wasn't disappointed with this version and it really was like a new meal, quite different from our version. But I do admit to adding more like a cup of the crushed crackers, love those on top. My 20 yo DS, who is off on his own for college, wants to try it this Friday when he is home. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for Fall PAC 2012.

This was delicious! Loved the crispy buttery outer edges. A warm comfort food. Liked the chestnuts in there too. Gave it a small crunch that was necessary in the middle of all the gooey warm cheesie bliss. I'm mad at myself I had 4 servings! At the end of the night there was only 1 piece left. I served it with warm bread and butter. Next time I will add a side of veggies.
