EASY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE HOT DISH



Easy Chicken and Wild Rice Hot Dish image

The original recipe was prepared by Amy Thielen, in the October issue of Food Network magazine. I have substituted some ingredients due to unavailability and high cost. Green onions for leeks, evaporated milk and water for whole milk, sour cream for fresh cream and Rice a Roni Long Grain & Wild Rice for natural wild rice. This substitution saves time.

Great for a winter all in one dish meal. I tend to make this when I have leftover Chicken. Although Cheddar is my favorite cheese I would like to try a swiss with this.
