This was ok. The onion soup mix made it way too salty and I thought the taste was overwhelming. I have better 'go to' recipes that work well on busy days.

It's a mystery to me why this recipe is so highly rated. I consider myself a decent cook, and this was a total flop. First of all, the cooking time is off.. My rice was hard and crunchy after the noted time. I had to cook for an add'l 30 minutes on increased temp. Secondly, its so bland! There is absolutely NO flavor.. The rice absorbs all of the soup, and there is no flavor left. There is no creaminess- Its just mushy rice with chicken.. Sorry! I am staring at it trying to figure out how I am going to re-coop this dish for dinner... ( I even added extra bite size vegetables before cooking.. )- Just isn't working for me!

why 3 stars? + convenient, easy to make, but B-L-A-N-D!!!!!! as written -- you'll need to jazz it up! Add LOTS more garlic powder or a couple minced garlic cloves, easy! Adding sauteed (or in a pinch, dried minced onion) is necessary, too. I'd also reccomend adding 1/2-3/4c milk to the mix. I liked the results of chopping the chicken into bite size pieces, pre-browning it in a pan & mixing the whole thing together & cooked for about 1 hr 15 min. Still, needs a lot more help to even become SATISFYING & Tastey. If you try to jazz it up, don't add a pinch of something, add a LOT!

This was really great! My only complaint is that my white rice wasn't soft and fluffy like I prefer. It was actually still crunchy...

This dish was quite satisfying. I did alter the recipe a bit to suit my tastes. I used cream of chicken soup in place of cream of mushroom. Also, I used 1 1/2 cups of wild rice combined with 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup Pinot Blanc. The whole family enjoyed this casserole, even our persnickety 10-year old! I will definitely make this again!

I was trying to use up some pantry items before they expired and stumbled upon this recipe. The end result was pretty good and filling. I only had 4 breasts and 2 thighs, so that it was I used, and that actually worked well because I think it would've been too much chicken compared to the amount of rice if I'd used 8 breasts. To get this dish on the table quicker, I would used already cooked rice and cooked and cubed/shredded chicken, throw everything together in the baking dish and bake just long enough to heat through.

My family LOVES this recipe. I have been making it for about 5 years now and they love it every time. I am making it today in my restaurant for the second time and last time I got rave reviews. The flavors really mix well together. I also fix lunch daily for a group of men and they frequently request this recipe. I make it as is with no substitutions. Good job, Carol!!

comfort food at it's best, You got to love a recipe that is just all thrown together and when it's done makes your taste buds sing, the only part I changed is I used a whole chicken.... It makes the recipe much cheaper and when your feeding a family of five the cheaper the better

I made this last week and my hubby wanted me to pick up the stuff to make it again. He LOVED it and he is a little on the picky side. He said it was better the next night reheated in the microwave at work. He said he thinks it was better than the first day!
