I love chicken and rice dishes. They are not only are they delicious they’re inexpensive and filling.
This recipe calls for Ritz Crackers combined with butter to make a top crust. Ritz Crackers are one of my favorite snack foods. No seriously I mean L-O-V-E them. They are great with peanut butter, with cheese, with tuna salad, with chicken salad, or just plain out of the box.
What are your favorite snack foods that can double as ingredients in a casserole or dish?

I think I missed the amount of chicken to use in the recipe.
This recipe calls for 2 to 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts. I always use two because any more than that is way to much for just the two of us to eat. Of course the leftovers are great so I’m sure if you overcook it won’t go to waste.

I find boneless skinless thighs are not as dry as breast. I cook 6-8 thighs at one time, then I divide them and freeze the thighs I am not going to use to make my casserole. When need I take my frozen thighs out ( defrost in microwave) mix chicken casserole and add cooked chicken. Place casserole in oven. This one step saves a lot of time, especially when you are short on time. I try to always cook enough extra chicken for 3 casseroles.
