I changed it around a lot. I liked the base of the recipe so I went off that and added some items. I didn't have mayo so I used NonFat Miracle Whip which gave it a really good kick in my opinion. I didn't have water chestnuts so I kept them out. I seasoned the chicken while it was cooking with seasoning salt and lemon pepper. I added some corn, and edamame for some veggies inside for the kids and I left out the salt and white pepper. It turned out really good and tasteful. I would do this again for sure.

I will gladly give this one 5 stars. My wife and I could live on casseroles and we both really liked this one. I did cut everything in half and it still was plenty. Will try freezing some left overs.Didn't change a thing as far as ingredients. Thanks tallships

Just made this for the first time and figured that much butter must be a mistake. So, only used 1/4 cup and used Rice Krispies instead of cornflakes. It was great. People that said it was dry must have a problem somewhere. Maybe some bad rice? Thought it was delicious and a great casserole to take to a potluck.

I did not care for this recipe. I followed instructions exactly with the exception of using black pepper instead of white. The rice dried out in baking, the sauce was bland, the crunchy almonds blended in with the now crunch rice, and the chicken was chewy. No thanks.

Came out great, really simple to make. It could use a bit more seasoning in my opinion as it was quite mild. Reheats very well as leftovers. I also think this would be a great wrap filling.

I made this recipe for two the only changes were, no almonds which I shall make sure I have next time. I also put some fresh baby spinach at the bottom of the baking dish. No cornflakes so crushed up some potato chips 5 minutes before end of cooking. Did not add any salt. Great supper!

I made this recipe, and then tried it before I baked it and it tasted AWFUL. The white pepper definitely gives this dish a funk. So then I doubled everything else (imagine making more rice, cooking more chicken, etc) to try and salvage the dish. It was edible after the extra effort, but still not great. I think most people probably just use balck pepper instead of white pepper, and end up with a decent tasting casserole. That is what i would do if I was going to make this again.

I make this often. I leave out the water chestnuts, but other than that, it's great as is. People always love it and want the recipe.

There is way to much butter -- I think you could decrease the amount in half. It is a little bland so try to add a spice to spice it up a little.

I got together with a friend to make and freeze several different recipes. We sat down with our two families to eat it and not a single one of us could eat more than two bites! Not sure where it went wrong, but we both cook frequently. White pepper maybe? It just had a terrible taste and was unbearable.

I had no idea what to expect when first trying this recipe, but was excited to try something new. And I was happily surprised...it tasted wonderful! I don't use celery or the water chestnuts, just family preference. Instead I added small pieces of fresh carrots and green beans. I parboiled them and then added to the mix. You don't need all the butter for the topping, as many others have stated, but of course we love the topping so I use a little less butter but add more cornflakes. This has been a weekly request around our house. Thanks Behr Kleine!

This was excellent! It has a mild flavor but my guests enjoyed it, especially the crunch factor. I put it into two pie plates and froze one for this past weekend. It was still crunchy and good. Served it with whole green beans with garlic butter, salad and garlic biscuits.

I love this recipe. I have been making it for a couple of years now and everyone that I make it for absolutely loves it. I definitely recommend it for a family meal. I don't add the almonds up top, but everything else I do add.

I pretty much stuck to the recipe, except for a few changes. I boiled the chicken in water seasoned with salt and pepper. I then used that chicken broth (1 cup) and I replaced the rest with 1 cup of white wine. It was very yummy!! I will add more onions next time.

This recipe was very yummy although I would cut about half the butter out for the topping and crush the corn flakes (only a little), other than that I didn't change a thing and my family loved it.

My husband liked this dish and my 2-year old loved the cornflake and almond topping. But...I wasn't crazy about it. It just kind of tasted funny. I probably won't make it again.
