Tips:

Use day-old rice. This will help the rice to hold its shape and not become mushy in the casserole.
Shred the chicken yourself. Pre-shredded chicken can be tough and dry. Shredding the chicken yourself will give you more control over the texture and flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. The recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
Serve the casserole immediately. This casserole is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This comforting chicken rice casserole is a family-friendly meal that is easy to make and packed with flavor. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and fluffy rice, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice.
