Very Yummy and easy :) I used left over grilled chicken breast and jasmine rice. I also used peas as I don't care for cooked broccoli, came together nice and easy. I also added some garlic and onion powder and ground pepper :)

Simple and very good chicken and rice casserole. I used two pouches of Tyson chicken and we always add skim milk to a similar recipe that we make in the microwave so I added it here too. Also added some celery seed and lemon pepper than placed in the oven. A very versatile recipe that can be made to your families liking. Thank you hon for another great recipe! Made and reviewed for PIck A Chef - Spring 2009.

Very easy and yummy casserole, thanks. Threw this together for a quick dinner. Made this for ZWT4 for the Chic Chefs.

Made for ZWT4. Yum! We loved this. I was able to slim it down a little by using lower fat Velveeta cheese instead of Cheez Whiz; I thinned the velveeta down with about 1/4 cup half-and-half. Very satisfying! Will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting!

Very comforting! The sauce taste a lot like Recipe#208214; which I've made for years. Made for my PAC Mom Fall 07.
