made this tonight and it was very good although, I didn't precook the rice and it was not all the way done. Very good flavor and definetly will make it again, but will adjust so that the rice will come out! - 4/15/09

I use enough chicken to cover the casserole...usually 5-6 depending on size. For the nutrition values, I used 6.

I made this in the slow-cooker (low for 5 hours, probably high 2-3) but made sure to thaw the breasts out first, halved the water. It turned out delicious! I also followed ASHFRESH's suggestion and added corn w/peppers. Just a warning, if you cook the rice all the way it may turn out mushy. - 4/20/09

This is really tasty and lo and behold my whole family will eat it!! It's so easy to make and throw in the oven in a pinch. I left out the cilantro, green onions, and cheese and it was still delicious. The only other thing was that I found the rice cooks better when stirred in with the soups. - 5/14/09

This was very tasty, although a bit spicy hot for our palate. I would definitely make again using less taco seasoning (this would cut down on the sodium too) and just diced tomatoes instead of the tomatoes with chiles (not sure if they were hot or not) I also used cream of celery instead of chicken. - 4/25/09

I made a Makeover of this recipe. I substituted quinoa for the rice in this recipe. It was FANTASTIC!
It made a huge mess, though, since it didn't all fit in the pan. Even after taking quite a bit out before cooking, it still boiled over into my oven. I heavily recommend using a BIG casserole dish - 12/6/12

This was very tasty & easy! I did not cook the rice first or thaw the chicken breasts and it turned out great. My only problem was that I used a slightly smaller casserole and it boiled over a little in the oven (so don't do that!). I would never be able to get 12 servings out of it though. - 4/20/09

This recipe deserves even more stars! Also added mushrooms because my family loves them. I had left over chicken breast so I used that instead of frozen but next time I will use the frozen as I am always forgetting to get meat out of freezer. Great versatile recipe that you can personalize. Love it! - 4/6/13

I thought that this recipe sounded like it would be tasty, and boy, was it ever. It was terrific! I will absolutely make it again. And again. And again! Danithom25, thank you so much for sharing this. The only change I will make it so stir the rice into the soup, as suggested by Mamalizard. - 1/26/13

Huge hit!! Will definitely be making again.
After baking for 1hr and 40min, I used forks to pull apart the chicken and make it more shredded than in full breasts. Then I reduced the oven heat to 200 degrees and topped the casserole with cheese. Then back in the oven uncovered for 10 more minutes - 1/9/13

Excellent! Here's a suggestion though: use minute rice! I thought for sure the raw rice would be cooked after such a long time in the oven, but it was still crunchy when it came out. (I used brown rice, maybe that's why). I also added some cayenne. Either way- my husband and I absolutely loved it! - 10/21/12

I made this for dinner tonight and it was great! I mixed my soups, water, taco seasoning, rice, and a handful of shredded mild cheddar together before pouring it into my baking dish. I used boneless thighs.Cooked perfectly. BUT should have added salt to soup mix, felt the dish lacked seasoning. Yum! - 7/31/12

Pretty tasty! I used brown rice like some others.I didn't add the tomatoes w/chilies for fear that it might be too hot for my 3 year old. I just diced my own fresh tomatoes. I also added corn, and mixed the uncooked rice with the soups. I cooked it for 60 min at 350 because my chicken wasn't frozen. - 6/20/12

I used my own spices (like CALIRPM) to season the dish & marinate the chicken first. I cooked the rice ahead of time; cut out the mushroom soup & water; then added 1c of Salsa Verde instead. I also shredded the chicken & mixed it in before adding the cheese. Svg Size details would be helpful. - 6/6/12
