Mamaw’s Chicken and Rice Casserole 🍗🍚💛

4️⃣ Bake

• Cover the casserole tightly with foil to trap in moisture.
• Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes to let the top lightly brown (especially if cheese is added).
• Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

💡 Tips

• Be sure to use instant (quick-cooking) rice, not long grain — this ensures the rice fully cooks.
• Add frozen peas or broccoli before baking for a complete one-dish meal.
• Substitute rotisserie chicken and cooked rice for a shortcut — reduce baking time by 15–20 minutes.

Creamy, cozy, and full of memories, this classic casserole is easy to make and hard to resist. It’s no wonder Mamaw made it all the time. 💛🍗🍚
