Creamy Chicken and Rice
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.

I made this pretty much as written. I used some garlic and herb seasoning and I added fresh mushrooms to the recipe. It was very tasty.

Pretty simple. Flavors are about the same as most chicken & rice/pasta dishes.
Very cheesy, rich and crunchy topping. Will make again. Next time I'm going to put some frozen peas in it.
Nothing special about this recipe. Wasn't bad, my boyfriend loved it. Didn't come together as quickly as it should've. Ideal for a potluck or small gathering.1/4 the recipe for just "the two of you" as this will feed a small army. If not you end up with a soggy leftover mess.
So tasty yet so easy, as it uses ingredients I always have on hand. The Sour cream and cheese combine to make a simply delicious sauce. I rely on this dish often when I need a quick potluck dish.
Hoping this will be yummy; this is what I did to it! I used brown rice b/c that was all I had. I used only about 8 oz of velveeta, again b/c that was all I had. I didn't use chicken bouillon because I didn't have any. Instead I used low salt chicken broth for half the liquid and heavy cream for the other half (I needed to use it up). I added some garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and paprika but no salt. I also used only half the sour cream listed and used light sour cream. I wanted to add some peas as many of you recommended but my 12 year old daughter would not hear of it! For the topping I used crushed buffalo cheddar potato chips that needed to be used up. I did not use butter in the topping but did use it to make the roux. It looked really yummy going into the oven. If it isn't I will re-post. If it is good I will probably not remember to come back and say so! I'm giving it five stars because I hope it will be yummy and it was very easy to make!

Loved it, will make again.
This is one of our favorite recipes so far! I did alter it a bit by adding a chopped red pepper, half a red onion and some chopped carrots and cauliflower. Trust me, no one will be able to spot the hidden veggies and the kids will love it. Excellent dinner.
