    Is there anything better than a tasty casserole?! Well, okay, I can think of lots of things, but still…casseroles scream comfort and are a favorite in my house!

    This school year, my kids started out online. Our school district gave us a choice between virtual or on campus, and with the uncertainty of Covid…my hubby and I opted for virtual first quarter.

    While having the kids home each day, we quickly realized that I wasn’t the best lunch lady (haha) and my kids grew tired of sandwiches quickly.

    Since our school district offers free breakfast/lunch meals for all kids through December, my hubby picked up a meal kit for each kid last week.

    Mainly, it was to add variety to their meals and change things up a bit!

    Little did I know how much food those kits included! Wow! Everything from fruits, vegetables, cereals, milk, chicken options, and more!

    Quick, easy, and packed with flavor! This Mouthwatering Chicken & Rice Casserole is a family favorite!

    Since we were overflowing with vegetables in my freezer, I decided to make a casserole and include them in it!

    We had a crazy busy night between tumbling, football, and golf…so this casserole worked out fabulous!

    I was able to prepare this early in the afternoon, place in the oven come dinnertime, and we had a full meal in one pan!

    If you love quick and easy dinners, this Mouthwatering Chicken and Rice Casserole is for you! Packed with flavor and all three of my kids loved it!

    *I used Auntie Nono’s Everything Seasoning in this as we LOVE it and use it on everything we can! Check it out HERE!!

      Disappointed. Made this 2 days ago. So, I cooked the chicken to shred it then baked the casserole for 25 minutes. Therefore, the chicken was cooked twice and resulted in tough and dry chicken pieces.

      Oh I am so sorry to hear that! Due to the sour cream and cream of chicken soup, it should have been moist and creamy with chicken throughout!
