Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole
Chicken and Rice Casserole is marinated softened rice with chicken that is cooked in the oven and tastes amazing. This is an easy meal to cook on the days I have little time to drain the rice. I sometimes fry the rice with chicken but I can even skip that and mix all the ingredients and just put them in the oven and wait for my delicious meal to be ready.
