This is good but needs to be modified: use peas instead of celery, add some garlic to the onion sautee, add 1/2 cup sour cream and some milk or it will be too dry. Use crushed sour cream and onion potato chips instead of the cornflake crumbs. I think I will add some mozzerella next time to up the flavor even more.

I omitted the mayo and used a tin of cream of celery soup instead. I didn't have any celery, so I used sliced mushrooms. As per another reviewer, I used Ritz crackers instead of cornflakes to top it off. This was really good! Next time I think I'll make sure I have celery and I'll probably add other veggies as well - mushrooms again and maybe some chopped broccoli.

Sorry, but I thought this recipe was rather bland. My husband agreed, and we won't be serving it again.

This would have been bland (so good for picky children)as is. I added 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. dill. I liked the combination. I only had pecans so I used those instead of almonds. I also used crushed potato chips instead of the corn flakes because I didn't have corn flakes.

great recipe. used 1/2 c sour cream and 1/2c blue cheese salad dressinginstead of Mayo.Added some cut asparagus. Also used Balsami rice cause thats what I had on hand. Baked in 9x9 pan had plenty for 4 with a few left overs. used ritz crackers with the almonds and sprinkled both on top the last ten minutes. was sort of soupy, so let stand for 10 before serving on toast points.

I thought this dish tasted wonderful, but it was a bit on the dry side. Next time I make it I'll try two cans of cream of chicken soup, or maybe one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of celery. I'll also add more salt, and lots of pepper to add a little more taste.

After making a few adjustments I found this to be one of our favorite recipes in our home! To make a 9x13 pan, I add 2 1/2-3 cups of COOKED long-grain rice (we prefer Basmati rice), add carrots to the celery to make about 2 1/4 cups (the carrots add more flavor than the celery alone), no more than 1 cup mayo, DEFENITLY add 2 cans of cream of chicken and if the mixture seems to dry add some milk until it looks better, and instead of topping with plain cornflakes use Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds!!! The honey gives it an awesome added flavor, it seemed to be the flavor that was missing after I made it the first time word for word from the orginal recipe. Oh, and I only cooked it for 20-30 minutes until it was warm. HIGHLY Recommend!!!

I adjusted this recipe to 24 for our little towns pot luck supper and it was a big hit - not a grain of rice left. However I did have to add an extra can of cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of mayo to get the perfect creamy texture I wanted.

Can't put my finger on exactly was wrong, did it need ?garlic, ?black pepper, ?mushrooms, ?can of green chile peppers, ?artichokes. It was just okay but I imagine it would be a really good "tweaker". Tried this once again with sour cream, mayo, both types of soup plus added fresh mushrooms and shredded carrots and garlic to the saute mixture. Still just okay.

Wow- this was a nice treat- very different from the usual casserole. I did make a few changes- instead of mayonnaise I used one 8oz block of cream cheese and added 1/2 cup of milk. I also sauteed the onion, celery, and chicken in white wine and butter before mixing it in with the rice. I also added peas and carrots to the mix to give it some extra veggies. Had to use a 9x13 pan instead of 8x8- this was a lot of food! The whole family loved it- we will definitely make this again. Thanks!

Try these modifications: 1. Prepare 2 cups of rice 2. Toast Almonds for more flavor 3. Saute two cloves garlic, diced green pepper, 2 cups celery, 1 cup onions and two chicken breasts cut into bite size peices 4. Combine with a can of water chesnuts and rice into a 9x13" pan 5. Layer prepared Couscous with Parmesan vice Corn Flakes as topping 6. Place into pre-heated oven at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top

I made this with what I had on hand - no almonds or cornflakes. I used half the amount of rice. I added chopped green pepper and carrots, to increase the amount of vegetables and make it more of a one-pot meal. I added some fresh chopped rosemary to the veggies and some grated parmesan cheese to the soup/mayo mixture. These added a lot to the overall flavor. Since I had no cornflakes, I made breadcrumbs by whirling a crust of bread in the food processor with some more parmesan cheese. Instead of feeding 12, cutting back on the rice and adding more veggies meant it fed four easily.

I love this casserole!! I followed the recipe exactly, except for the cornflake topping. Instead, I topped the casserole off with prepared Pepperidge Farm (Herb Seasoned) Stuffing. (Add 1 1/4 c boiling water and 2-3 tbl of butter to 4 cups stuffing mix.)

This recipe was very good. I made a few minor changes based on previous reviews. I also used roasted garlic mushroom soup, toasted the almonds for more flavor, used Durkee onions in place of the cornflakes. I substituted 1/2 c. of sour cream in place of the mayo, but next time I'm going to try the mayo instead. I think it was slightly dry but the flavor was wonderful. Next time I will try the mayo or maybe a little chicken stock added. Also, don't forget to add the Durkee Onion rings just the last few minutes of cooking. I forgot and they got pretty charred! Great recipe, definitely a keeper and I'll make again.

We enjoyed this very much! Although, I took the advice of some others and made some changes. I used cream of mushroom soup w/roasted garlic and french onions instead of corn flakes. I made it the night before and put it in the fridge. then added the onions before cooking. The ONLY complaint I have was that I used all of the same amounts of ingredients this recipe called for and I only had enough for an 8x8 pan. ?? Maybe my chicken breasts were smaller..? I will make this again.
