Description

This creamy chicken and rice bake is a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for a family dinner. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the creamy sauce is simply irresistible. It's a great way to use up leftover cooked rice, and the buttery cracker topping adds a delightful crunch. This casserole is especially welcome on a cold winter evening, but it's delicious any time of year. Feel free to add some chopped vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition. It's also great for meal prepping!
