Chicken, Rice, and Veggie Casserole {Freezer Meal}
Chicken, Rice, and Vegetable Casserole
This chicken and rice veggie casserole is from gracefullittlehoneybee.com. To save time from having to cook and cut the chicken, I use pre-cooked frozen chicken that's already been cubed or canned shredded or cubed chicken. Another time saver is using meat from a rotisserie chicken straight from the store.
I've used different kinds of rices, including brown, white, and basmati. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you wish, frozen of fresh. I usually stick to a veggie mixture that is an assortment of peas, carrots, corn, and green beans. Season the casserole to your taste buds' desires; I use black pepper and pink Himalayan salt to keep it simple. Use condensed soup, whether cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, or a combination of the two.
