I'm not a huge fan of chicken and rice casseroles, but this one was actually pretty good. The toasted almonds added a nice flavor and crunch.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I made this casserole last night and it was delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. The chicken was moist and tender, and the rice was cooked perfectly.
