Easy and taste is fabulous!
I marinaded the chicken in Italian dressing first but that was my only change. It is delicious! My husband said it was the best thing I've ever made and that must be great because I do so much from scratch that he loves! Score on the ease of this and how great it tastes! It is now a staple in our home :)
Extremely good
This was so easy to make, and really good, the kids loved it!
Yummy
This recipe was really good...I doubled the rice portion, but it took much longer then 45 minutes...not sure if it was because I doubled it...I had to cook it almost 2 hours for the rice to be done and thickened.

My husband and I love this casserole. It's so easy and tasty. I made this last night and added a crown of fresh broccoli. My husband didn't even complain! Really, you can't go wrong with this recipe. Every time I've made it, it's come out perfectly. I do suggest using an oven thermometer whenever you make this or any other baked chicken recipe. My oven temperature always runs low, though, so I worry about that.
A great shortcut and make ahead meal!
This is a very easy and tasty recipe. I didn't have any Prego Cheese sauce so I used 1 can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup mixed with 3/4 c. half-and-half. I also cheated and topped it with pre-seasoned/cooked chicken fajita pieces. It was still very cheesy and creamy and the rice cooked through. This is one of those recipes that I like to make before I leave for work and leave uncooked in the fridge covered in foil. I put instructions on the foil in marker and whoever gets home first puts it in the oven. Dinner's ready!
