Chicken and Rice Casserole
Happy Halloween!
I can’t wait to see the little one’s lining up at the door tonight. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to see a lot of Elsa’s and Olaf’s tonight!
I loved trampsing around the neighborhood when the kids were little, but I missed answering the door. Now that the kids are big and don’t trick or treat anymore I miss walking around the neighborhood!
It’s cooled down quite a bit here in New England so I’m breaking out the casseroles.
I just threw this together , much like I do with my soups. I did take note of what I used to make this so I could share it with you all tough. More than once I’ve made one of my “throw this and that in” casseroles and forget to write down exactly what I did. This time I remembered.
I used 3 very large chicken breasts when I make this but you could most certainly use the meat from a rotisserie chicken in a pinch.
