    This recipe can be made using any rice . My mom taught me how to make this when I was younger only we put tuna and peas in it and used cream of mushroom soup instead of the cream of chicken.
    It’s a super easy super quick dinner. Especially if you need/want to feed a bunch of people and leave them feeling satisfied quickly .

    Since we all like rice, this is an excellent dish to go with baked chicken-thank you for giving us this recipe

  10. Pam says:

    Just a thought. I wonder if this would work with pasta instead of rice. Maybe cook past first?

    1. Marsha says:

      I think it would. Hubby doesn’t care for rice. Maybe egg noodles?
