Favorite Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole image

I found this in Southern Living several years ago and make it often, especially when bringing a meal to someone. It freezes well which is good since the recipe is much more than my family can eat. I usually make it either in 2 2qt baking dishes or 3 9x9 pans for freezing and add a little extra cheese on top. Light sour cream, lowfat milk and Healthy Request soup work well for a lower fat version.

This casserole is delicious! The chicken is tender and juicy, and the wild rice adds a nutty flavor. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice pop of color and crunch.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great meal to prep ahead of time. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for lunch or dinner.

This casserole was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always moist and tender, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I usually add a bit of extra cheese to the top before baking, and it always comes out golden brown and bubbly

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been able to get it right. The chicken always comes out dry and the sauce is always too runny.

This casserole was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the rice was undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a little bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more vegetables or herbs.
