Chicken and Rice Casserole

Chicken and Rice Casserole
This recipe is what I grew to love. It was given to me by my Grandmother at a church potluck a long time back. It was passed to me by my grandmother and has been a family favourite ever since. It’s quick and easy to make for school nights and the leftovers taste just as good. Although you can add less butter to the top, my Mamman used to put full stick of butter to Chicken and Rice Casserole.

Ingredients:

Three chicken breasts cut into cubes
2 cups of water
2 cups instant white Rice
1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounce).
1 can cream of celery soup (10.5 ounce).
1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounce).
Salt and ground black pepper are two of the best ways to make it taste.
1/2 cup butter cut into pats

This recipe was a favorite of mine and my mom when I was growing-up. It was made with some modifications, which is why I make it the same way. Instead of using two cups of water, I use one cup water and one cup milk.
