Chicken and Rice Casserole

Happy New Year!  I hope 2013 is going to be a great year.  I know cooking at home is one of my resolutions.  Most of the things I make test better than food out anyway!  I always feel good when something I cook makes my boys happy.  

One of my best friends made this meal for us and it was so yummy!  The leftovers were even better.  So, Tuesday night I made it myself.  YUM!  This is now one of my favorites.  

The original recipe says this makes 4 servings...it makes at least 6 large portions.
