Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix
2 tablespoons butter
6 large mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

I would give this casserole 5 stars, but I thought it was a little too salty. Next time, I'll use less salt.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The casserole was still delicious.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken from roasting a whole chicken, and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It was so easy to just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and have dinner ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I loved this casserole. The creamy sauce and tender chicken made up for it.

The chicken was a little dry, but the casserole was still tasty.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

I substituted brown rice for the wild rice, and it was still really good. I also added some chopped mushrooms, which gave it a nice earthy flavor.

This creamy wild rice chicken casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the wild rice added a nutty flavor. The creamy sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
