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.

NICK'S FAMOUS FLUFFY RICE AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE
It was my fault for not taking the package of chicken out of the freezer in the morning before I went to work and THEN at 4:30 actually thinking, "this will get done in time for supper." Still, dinner would've turned out well (delicious, even) if only a certain "someone" (who shall remain nameless, except for the recipe title!) could've waited another half-hour for the meat to cook through and the rice to get fluffy. :rofl: Instead, that long-ago dinner was a concoction of bloody-bone chicken and molar-tingling crunchy-hard rice in a soupy mess. Now...if THIS description doesn't inspire you, I don't know WHAT will!? .......Honestly, this is a very wonderful comfort food recipe.....just don't start with completely frozen chicken and think that it will be done in the one-hour baking!

- Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before fluffing. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
