Creamy Chicken and Rice image

When my mom asked me to prepare a speedy supper to feed our family, I used leftover chicken to create this casserole. Cheese and sour cream make the chicken and rice so creamy and tasty. I recently got married, and my husband, Doug, loves it, too. -Jennifer Biggs Cassel, Mediapolis, Iowa

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cream next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this dish was amazing. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken was so tender. I will definitely be making this again.
