Best Favorite Chicken And Wild Rice Casserole Recipes
FAVORITE CHICKEN AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE
I found this in Southern Living several years ago and make it often, especially when bringing a meal to someone. It freezes well which is good since the recipe is much more than my family can eat. I usually make it either in 2 2qt baking dishes or 3 9x9 pans for freezing and add a little extra cheese on top. Light sour cream, lowfat milk and Healthy Request soup work well for a lower fat version.

This is similiar to others, but this one incorporates almonds for some added crunch! You can make and freeze the casserole ahead, or make two small casseroles.

This is my favorite dish to bring to families- for new babies, sick friends, etc. It makes so much, you have plenty to feed your family and the family you are feeding. This is a Southern Living recipe from a while back.
