Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole
Why should you make Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole? Because it's cooking magic! All the ingredients go in uncooked, even the rice. There's no prep involved- just assemble and bake! The soup mixture melts into a creamy sauce that not only keeps the chicken moist, but is absorbed into the rice for maximum flavor. Already creamy and delicious, it's sprinkled with shredded cheese when it's hot from the oven- we like Cheddar but feel free to use your favorite! In fact, there are lots of ways to customize this Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole- see the tips below for how!
