This casserole is a great comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and filling. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread or a salad.

I've been making this casserole for years and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. I usually add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the casserole for extra flavor.
