EASY FLUFFY RICE AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Easy Fluffy Rice and Chicken Casserole image

I've been making this recipe for years, and decided to post it here for safe keeping, because the recipe card is getting very tattered. It's one of a series of recipe cards I would get in the mail from General Mills, many years ago. I usually used chicken thighs ( I prefer the dark meat) but would have to extend the cooking time by about 15 minutes or so. My family loved it and I still make it on occassion.
