This was a great take on a recipe my mom used to make, only she did it sans broccoli and celery. I loved the addition of the veggies, but I did leave out the mushrooms and water chestnuts. We thought it was delicious, my only complaint was that it could have used more spices. Next time I will definitely up the garlic, pepper, salt, and paprika.

I will make this again. I was worried that it would be mushy...but the texture of the dish was great and even my picky non-broccoli eating teen liked it. The water chestnuts added a nice crunch. The reason I gave it a 3 is because I'm not sure I would have liked it if I had not modified it. Modifications below: - reduced butter to 1 tablespoon and added water to browning pan as needed - used 2 cans cream of chicken instead of the 1 can cream of celery that was called for - used 1 cup of brown rice cooked in chicken broth...netted out with more than 2 cups of rice I'm sure - doubled the cheddar cheese - added 1/2 cup of chuncked velvetta cheese (this left small pockets of creamy cheese to be discovered - yum) - used fresh mushrooms - added 2 tablespoons of minced garlic - added 1 chopped green pepper - topped with crushed corn flakes 10 mins before baking was complete.

I was looking for something warm and cozy to cook on a chilly day and this perked my interest so I decided to give it a try....I thought this turned out pretty good and I'd probably make it again. I did change a few things tho --- I left out the water chestnuts & mushroom because I dont care for them...I also seasoned the chicken before I cooked it. It was good.

Yum! A real comfort food to me. Chicken,cheese and rice with some vegetables, what could be better than that? I would not change a thing, it's great the way it is written.

We love this recipe! My mom has made this one for years, and now I cook it for my family. We leave out the celery and water chestnuts and add more meat and broccoli. Anyway you do it, it still tastes great. Nice and easy, it's one of our comfort foods (and a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey).

Great way to use leftover rice! I left out the water chestnuts and celery just because I didn't have them on hand. Topped casserole with an additional 1/2 c. of cheese before baking at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

I made this recipe for dinner last evening....I'm sorry to say but it was possibly the worst casserole I have every made. Literally threw it out after 2 bites. Would NOT recommend this to anyone.
