I use this as the base for my favorite recipe, where the main changes are that I cook the rice separately in a rice cooker, and add in a head of broccoli chopped into small pieces spread throughout the dish.

I've made this recipe for a couple years now and we both love it. I use low-fat cream of chicken soup and leave out the frozen veggies (neither of us eats them anyway). I top the chicken breasts with half a can of diced tomatoes and a couple crushed pieces of seasoned stuffing before baking. With just 5 minutes left in the baking time, I top with a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, then broil for the remaining time.

Ok, so this is my first time rating a recipe (although I've been on the site for years)! This recipe was really good with some tweaks. Here's what I did different: I used chicken STOCK instead of water, dried garlic, basil and oregano instead of onion powder and chicken sausage (with jalapeños/cheddar) instead of breasts and everything else the same. I cut my sausage on a bias and mixed everything up in a separate bowl and poured it in my casserole dish. (For the veggies I used mushrooms and broccoli and even cut up some jalapeños). Served with some crusty bread and it was a hit!

This recipe was good, but did lack flavour. I used chicken broth as another reviewer also did, and a little bit of Italian spice on chicken. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. I also had to cook it for over an hour to get rice cooked, but an hour was too long for the chicken (dried out). It was good as I stated earlier, but could have been alot better with a little more spice/flavouring.

Rice was a little undercooked and chicken was a little overcooked. Might try using thawed veggies instead so it doesn't take so long to heat up rice mixture or a little more water?

This recipe is fast and easy but the first time I made it it came out watery, bland and it didn't make very much. To make it savory and delicious I used 2 cans of creamy chicken soup, 2 1/2 cans of water, 2 cups rice and 2 cups veggies. Instead of using onion powder I used onion soup mix.

We did like it, but there were a few issues. The biggest thing - it came out too soupy. I will make it again; however, I will change the following: I will use 1/2 the water. I will use saffron flavored rice and not plain. All in all - A solid recipe.

I made this and gave 4 stars because I changed the recipe up. I used chicken breast tenders and cubed them, then mixed in 1/2 can creamy chicken noodle soup and 1 can broccoli cheese. I then added chicken broth instead of water and 1 1/2 bags frozen mixed veggies. For the rice, I got a bag of the steamable brown rice in the freezer section and followed the package instructions to microwave for 4 minutes. That way I knew the rice would be done. I seasoned with garlic salt, paprika, basil, and some red pepper flakes. I poured it all into a casserole dish and topped with shredded Fiesta cheese (all I had on hand). Baked for 50 min and it was very good and satisfying.

I followed this recipe to a T; however, the rice definitely was not cooked thoroughly. Great flavor though.

One of my all time favorite recipes!!! I prefer to cube the chicken and cook it all together like a casserole. I also use brown rice and it is just as yummy!!!
