Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole image

This nostalgic dish evokes the Old School casseroles your grandmother used to make-but in easy mode to make it quick, delicious, and great for a weeknight. Rotisserie chicken and precooked rice (or leftover rice) are combined with easy-prep veggies and baked with a flour-thickened broth that has a little sour cream added for creaminess.
