I make an easy and tasty chicken and rice casserole.
Put your oven on 350*
I use a 9 x 13 glass dish
You'll need cut up pieces of chicken of your choice. I use 6-7 pieces depending on how many I'm feeding.
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 can of cream of chicken (or if you out you can you a can of cream of celery)
1 or 2 boxes of Zatarain's wild rice (or whatever wild rice you like)
The amount of rice is up to you. I say the more the merrier.
In your dish put in the cream of mushroom, the cream of chicken.
Add 3 cups of water.
Add your rice
Stir all together
Add your chicken
Put this in your oven for an hour- hour and half.
You can serve with a salad and a roll.
Then there's always things like spaghetti or a big frozen lasagna. When I have a bunch of my kids and there friends over for lunch on a lazy Sunday, sometimes I just buy a family size or maybe it says party size stouffer lasagna, with a salad and french bread.
Then there's hamburgers and hotdogs and corn on the cob.
Sometimes, I just order a pizza.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
