Mimi's Chicken and Rice Casserole

Happy Sunday, friends!  I said I was going to try to get back to blogging on May 1st, and it has only taken me two months to make a second post...I guess that is what happens after baby number three.  I am going to share a SUPER EASY chicken and rice casserole recipe with you guys tonight.  My best friend Katie got the recipe from her mother-in-law, who her babies call "Mimi," and she makes it all the time for her family.  I recently tried it over here, and it has now joined our meal rotation, because my kids (and Phil and I) LOVE IT, and it only takes me 15 minutes to prep!  WIN-WIN!

Mimi's Chicken and Rice Casserole

From the Store:

Pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 3 breasts, and I like Publix Greenwise)

Box of Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice

1 can of french style green beans drained (I used 1.5 this time so my kids would get more!)

1 can cream of celery

1 can cream of chicken

1 can chicken broth

salt and pepper

Tony Chachere's seasoning (to add a little kick!)

1. Wash and cut up the chicken (I wear gloves and use meat scissors.  This was the most time consuming part of the recipe.)  Place in a mixing bowl.

2. Add the cream of chicken, rice (and seasoning packet), cream of celery, chicken broth and drained green beans to the bowl.

3. Mix everything together and add salt and pepper to taste.  If you like an extra little kick, add Tony Cachere's seasoning as well (or you can just sprinkle a little on top in the dish... my kids surprisingly love it...maybe because they are used to tasting it in jambalaya!)

4. Grease a 9 by 13 dish and pour in the mixture.

5. Cook at 375 for 30 minutes covered and 35-40 minutes uncovered (depending on your oven.)

6. Enjoy!  All 3 of my kids love this meal (I had to finally stop feeding Cason, because he kept asking for more.)
