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.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. I usually use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use thighs or drumsticks.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken that I had on hand, and it turned out great.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the wild rice is cooked perfectly. I like to add a little bit of extra garlic and onion to the recipe for a bit more flavor.
