Easy Chicken Pilaf Casserole image

This wonderful chicken/rice casserole is a favorite in our house, and it is often requested for supper (Tip: any left over cooked chicken (or cooked turkey, I always freeze a whole cooked turkey breast)... just freeze and use in recipes that call for cooked chicken, that way you will always have it on hand, and ready to use). Also, this recipe is great made with cooked turkey instead of chicken. Prep time does not include cooking the rice.

This casserole was not good. The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still good. I would make it again, but I would use less cheese.

I'm not a big fan of chicken pilaf, but this casserole changed my mind. It was creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of spice. I would definitely make this again.
