Mushrooms, celery and water chestnuts add texture and crunch in this comforting casserole. Chicken and rice are perfect partners that always satisfy.—Linda Durnil, Decatur, Illinois

Chicken casseroles are always a hit and this one is no different. I used bread crumbs and butter instead of saltines. I will definitely make this recipe again for my family.

The whole family really liked this recipe...I did change it a bit. I didn't have celery or chestnuts, so I left those out. I added about 4 Tablespoons of cream cheese to soup and heated it first to melt it. Really good recipe

I added some minced garlic and black pepper and will definitely make it again.

This was very tasty and very easy to make with ingredients that are in almost every pantry.

For my daughter's recent wedding rehearsal dinner, the groom's mother and friends served this recipe (x20!). They added snipped rosemary to the rice mixture, and crushed buttered croutons in place of the saltine cracker topping. It was delicious and a huge hit. Our side of the family is still asking for the recipe.

I used pork instead of chicken and it tasted just as good!
