This is a staple of every American cooking. Chicken and rice casseroles are a quick and easy recipe for school nights. And this is great for potlucks, too. The leftover is just as good. Mamaw’s Chicken and Rice Casserole is my family’s treasure. My mother learned to make it from her mom and she passed it to me. Now, my kids are enjoying it almost every day! We love this casserole and we can’t get enough of this. A perfect creamy rice and fork-tender chicken casserole that is super easy to make. No need to precook the rice or even brown the chicken first. All you need is put everything in one pot and let it cook on its own. A one-pan meal that is baked to perfection!
