One of my very favorite comfort foods since I was a little girl has always been Chicken and Rice Casserole. There’s something so comforting about this dish. Maybe it’s the creamy texture or the simple flavor but there is something about this casserole that reminds me of home.

The key to making this version of chicken and rice is that the rice is boiled in chicken broth. The broth brings extra flavor to the rice and gives the whole casserole a savory flavor.

Aside from being my favorite comfort food this casserole is fantastic  for  other reasons. It’s easy to make. It’s inexpensive. It will feed a lot of people. The leftovers are great for lunch the next day. Oh and did I mention it’s delicious? Well let me tell you again, it’s delicious!

Happy Cooking Y’all,
