I modified this recipe quite a bit, so I understand that rating it isn't quite fair - but I wanted to post my modifications if any of you are in the same boat. I didn't realize until I started that the recipe called for instant rice, and all I had was brown basmati. So, I cooked the brown rice in my cooker with less water than called for - so when it was done, it wasn't cooked all the way. Instead of water and boullion in my cooking liquid, I used a can of coconut milk (because it sounded good!). I added asparagus and dropped the raisins (I just couldn't bring myself to add them). Everything cooked wonderfully in the oven for 45 minutes and was delicious. I felt like the dish was missing a little extra sweetness that I like in my curry - but it could have been fixed with a little sugar added to the sauce on the stove top.

It was okay. It would have been better with broccoli instead of green beans.(With that change you would use a different soup.)The flavor was okay too. I like dill, maybe some people don't. Some of the ratings baffle me. They made So Many changes, they weren't even making the same casserole. If I make it again, I will change some things. At least give a recipe a chance before you make sweeping changes and give it a bad rating. Maybe your changes are what messed it up. Just a thought.

This was really good! I only changed a couple of things that made this easy and take less time. I used success brown rice, one large bag and cut water and milk back to 1 can of each. I sauté the onions in olive oil, than added the soup, water, milk and seasonings to the pan and heated them. After heating I added the rice and poured the sauce over the chicken that I had placed in the bottom of a 13x9 pan sprayed with olive oil. Sprinkled the cheese (which I reduced to about 1/2 cup for health reasons, since I didn't have lowfat cheese.) Baked it for 30 minutes. It was quite nice served with freshed sliced tomatoes! we'll keep this one!

This recipe is really good, but I gave it 4 stars because of the cream of asparagus soup ingredient. Anything in a can is unhealthy. I think it will be better if you made your own soup of asparagus or broccoli or something else. I also substituted Cheddar cheese for Feta just because I love it (Feta cheese, that is; I recommend authentic Bulgarian one from specialized store) and it is healthier.

My family and I definetly dug this one! It seems easaly twikable to personal preferance which I like. The meat lovers didn't know they wern't eating meat either. I had some tomotio sause id made and people seemed to like that on it though I didn't put it on the one bite I had (I was on a juice fast). I think next time ill add a some corn and a little diced purple onion. I also think sour cream and cottage cheese would be a delicious addition to make it more of a mexican lasagna.

I used white rice instead of brown and 16 oz. frozen greens beans instead of canned. I also increased the cheese from 1.5 cups to 2 cups. I found this to be very very bland. I had to add lots of hot sauce and salt to it to give it flavor. I think this i a good base for a recipe, but it needs something else to give it flavor.
