Chicken Rice Casserole

Chicken Rice Casserole.

Layers of rice, chicken and vegetables in a soupy sauce with a crunchy topping – great for the whole family. This is a great way to use up any leftover chicken you might have from the roast (or takeaway) the night before.

If you want to make this recipe but you don’t have any leftover chicken, just bake some chicken breasts or chicken thights in the oven for 25 minutes on a sheet of baking paper. Alternatively you can be pre-cooked chicken from the deli at most supermarkets – it is delicious – I quite often buy it for school lunches.

Here is our delicious recipe for Chicken Rice Casserole!
