This is a dish that we normally cook with duck but had no duck and no one fancied going to the shops, so an improvisation was made. We used chicken instead.

I've eaten this before but never made it, so I look up the recipe online and this is what I found. I wasn't able to put any cheese or veggies in it due to picky eaters and lactose intolerant family members, but it turned out all right. eEveryone liked it..

Needed something to feed the family using leftover brown rice and it turned out really good!

A part of my mini project to recreate the "1950's America's Dish". Sorry, this won't be your Mother's chicken and rice casserole!

easy as boiling rice

tasty and easy to make for any family :chef (L)

This is my take on a dish I had years ago. It is not authentic Mexican, but certainly has Mexican flavors. Adding a can of corn to the soup mixture is a great idea a friend gave me. Other things you might want to add are jalapeños, black olives, and cilantro (coriander). Have fun with this one. Make it your own!!

yumm!!!

I was hungry late on a Monday night and started looking to see what I had. At first I was just going to steam some Lima beans and mix it with a package of rice. Then I saw I has one frozen chicken breast and decided I'll just put all 3 together. Then I remembered I also had a can of cream of chicken soup and that would add some creaminess to my meal. When I started making the soup I thought, I wonder how it would taste with some cream cheese. So I added the cream cheese and realized I wanted to go ahead and make it into a casserole and put some cheese on it. I started adding spices and came up with this blend. It tasted so good I had to add it here! All the ingredients were things I already had at home. As a single woman, making something for myself that I can take leftovers to work the next day is perfect.

It’s actually just leftovers. It started out life as chicken and rice 2 days ago. It was delish. I have issues with leftovers that look the same lol I prefer them to morph into something else. I do this a lot with my leftovers. This had rice so I didn’t really need a crust. With just a few ingredients, we had a really nice comforting supper.
