This was very easy and very good. Even my 16 mos old devoured it!!

I included onions, garlic and tomatoes. Good flavor but too heavy with the rice, in my opinion.

I made this strictly according to the recipe and it was very good, but I think I may modify it next time...I'll add the tomatoes as others have suggested, and have a little less sour cream. This was really great and had lots of flavor! It's a keeper.

This was fantastic and oh-so-easy!! Really delish! I opted to not add the tomatoes; mainly because I didn't feel the dish needed it and I was right. Plenty tasty without them. The only things that I did differently, were to add s&p to taste (as I really didn't see much "salt" in any of the ingredients) and I didn't do the parmesan (and THAT'S because I forgot it!!). I nuked the diced chicken in a covered casserole until it was nearly cooked...super easy! The ingredients didn't specify the size of the rice box...and they vary according to brands (I saw them from 4.0 oz. to 8 oz.). I used a 6.0 oz. box of Near East Long Grain & Wild Rice and I think it was the perfect size. I think, otherwise, the size might affect how moist/dry the casserole turns out. A real keeper and something that will be made often in our house! Thanks for sharing!

My husband loves this dish! I've added cumin and cayenne pepper to the sour cream mixture and it's great. I've also substituted whatever cheese I have and it's still great. We love this recipe!
