When my mom asked me to prepare a speedy supper to feed our family, I used leftover chicken to create this casserole. Cheese and sour cream make the chicken and rice so creamy and tasty. I recently got married, and my husband, Doug, loves it, too. -Jennifer Biggs Cassel, Mediapolis, Iowa

Very good! I made a half recipe for my family of 4 (two small kids) and we even have leftovers. My girls loved it saying I should make it every meal! The only change I made was not adding the butter/cracker topping as another reviewer suggested to not add extra fat/calories and it was great without it! I'm sure the topping would be an added plus every once in a while. I think the chicken/cheese mixture would be great in a pot pie too. Will be making this a lot!

I've made this several times and it is always a hit. I sometimes substitute kluski noodles for the rice and I usually use bread crumbs instead of crackers. Everyone loves it!

I may be the exception to the rule but I really didn't care for it. I found it to be too rich.

I made this recipe for a church dinner last Wednesday and it was a hit. I had two people ask for the recipe and I brought home an empty dish.

My husband loves this dish, he rarely has seconds (strange, I know!), but with this creamy dish, he always has atleast two helpings! I have adjusted the seasonings a bit, because the first time I found it a bit "garlicky", but overall it is wonderful!

This is a staple comfort food at our house during the winter. It is cheesy wonderful goodness. It appeals to everyone in my family from Dad to 6 year old.

My family more than loves this recipe. It is so simple and easy to make and you can make it the night before and just throw it in the oven for supper the next night. It is the most requested dish I make. My son thinks that it should be mandatory to makes this once per week. And leftovers never last long.

This was a HUGE hit with my family. It actually filled two of my casserole dishes and BOTH were cleaned out by my family of 4 the same night. It may not be the healthiest meal to prepare, but when you want to splurg this comes highly recommended!! Very simple ingredients and wallet friendly!

My toddlers love this, but I try to add veggies to everything I make for them so I add about 1 cup finely chopped broccoli and 1 cup each of frozen corn and peas for texture. Add a salad and you've got a tasty complete meal!

This is great dish for a main or side dish. To help with fat and calories. I used only 1 cup of sour cream and 6oz Velveeta and only had enough for 2 cups of chicken..do try to get aleast 4 cups next time. Also did not add the extra butter and crackers on top. This was so creamy and good. You don't need the extra stuff..my kids had it gone before me! Thanks for this recipe.
