Favorite Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole image

I found this in Southern Living several years ago and make it often, especially when bringing a meal to someone. It freezes well which is good since the recipe is much more than my family can eat. I usually make it either in 2 2qt baking dishes or 3 9x9 pans for freezing and add a little extra cheese on top. Light sour cream, lowfat milk and Healthy Request soup work well for a lower fat version.

This casserole was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used fresh mushrooms instead of canned.
