Homestyle Chicken and Rice Casserole image

My mom has made this casserole since I was a kid. It is simple,comfort food to me. Cooking for my kids, I often leave out the pimento and the almonds. For added favor I cook the rice is chicken broth. I always double the recipe and put one, uncooked, in a foil pan in the freezer. This is a nice casserole to take to someone that has just had a new baby.

This casserole is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of diced carrots and celery to the casserole for some extra flavor.

This casserole was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy. I won't be making this again.

This casserole was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

This casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
