EASY FLUFFY RICE AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE
I've been making this recipe for years, and decided to post it here for safe keeping, because the recipe card is getting very tattered. It's one of a series of recipe cards I would get in the mail from General Mills, many years ago. I usually used chicken thighs ( I prefer the dark meat) but would have to extend the cooking time by about 15 minutes or so. My family loved it and I still make it on occassion.

- 3. Press chicken strips down into the rice mixture.
- 4. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.

Tips:
- Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less likely to get mushy in the casserole. If you don't have day-old rice, spread the cooked rice in a thin layer on a baking sheet and let it cool completely before using it in the casserole.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the casserole. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, peas, and corn.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings: This is a great way to customize the casserole to your own taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
- Serve the casserole hot: This is when it will be at its best. You can also top the casserole with shredded cheese before serving.
