HOMEY CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE
This tasty and comforting dish is a cinch to throw together, and you'd never suspect that the creaminess comes from reduced-fat ingredients. It lends itself to substitution, so if you're not a fan of certain tastes, you can easily switch to another variety of cream soup and/or use other veggies. I recommend using rotisserie chicken for added convenience.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE
I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

HOMESTYLE CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE
My mom has made this casserole since I was a kid. It is simple,comfort food to me. Cooking for my kids, I often leave out the pimento and the almonds. For added favor I cook the rice is chicken broth. I always double the recipe and put one, uncooked, in a foil pan in the freezer. This is a nice casserole to take to someone that has just had a new baby.

CHICKEN & RICE CASSEROLE
I got this off a jar of Heinz Gravy. I wasn't too sure about making this at first as I always used creamed soups for a recipe like this but decided to give it a shot. Glad I did. It was really good and even better the next day. I used some left over frozen turkey I had and a jar of turkey gravy instead of what is called for. I also chopped the broccoli into smaller pieces after it was cooked as I don't like large pieces of broccoli. This is one of those "what can I have for supper tonight". A real comfort food.
