  Yum!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  This is a great casserole - it reminds me of one my mom used to make when I was little. My husband loves this every time I... make it. The greatest thing about it is that you can experiment with it and have fun trying to make it even better, though I think the recipe is wonderful as-is! I'm looking forward to making this many more times in the nearby future.Read more

  Great Starting Point Casserole

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  It never ceases to amaze me the negativity of such an unusual concentration of haters. This is a great recipe. It works... well just by itself. Cooking is all about taking some 'poetic justice' and, yes, this recipe can be made even more fantastic with a substitution here and there. I substitute canned green beans and pimentos with sauteed fresh asparagus, broccoli, and red bell. And, against my wife's will, I have to respond to those 'smell' complaints. Are you serious? What in the world does good food smell like to you all? Clearly there is a discrepancy in the realm of great food reality versus whatever everyone else complaining eats.Read more

  One adjustment

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  If you make this recipe with regular long grain rice, it is good, but if you want to make it excellent, try substituting the... rice with a traditional risotto and mix it in! I've made it this way several times and it is a very popular request when people come over for dinner (many say it's the best chicken and rice casserole they have ever had! Traditional Italian Risotto: 1 large onion 2 Tablespoons olive oil 4 Tablespoons butter 5 cups chicken stock 1 1/2 Cups arborio rice Saute onion in olive oil and butter until soft, add the arborio rice and coat with the the onion mixture, add stock one cup at a time (be sure to let the stock absorb into the rice before adding more!), then as soon as all the stock is in the rice and completely absorbed, add to the recipe! Check Giada or Mario for best tips for risotto!Read more

  Make slight changes, but good!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  My men, hubby and two boys loved it! After reading through all the other reviews, I did some changes for the better. First,... use a larger box of rice, 6oz is not enough. Use roasted red bell peppers from a jar, I used two peppers. Use only 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. I used 1 can of green beans, and 1 can of carrot. This is good, but not the best Chicken casserole Ive had. Read more

  Not my fave

  Rated: 2 stars out of 5

  Not a fan... I think 1 cup of mayo is too much!! I think if the recipe was altered it would be great. My casserole smelled... like.. which grosses me out. I used just one cup too. My brother and father seemed to really enjoy it.. Maybe its a boy thing! I am a huge fan of Paula Deen but this is not my fave. To make it better next time i am going to try adding more veggies, less mayo and maybe use creamy chicken soup instead like someone suggested below. Read more
