Chicken and wild rice casserole is easy to prepare and tastes just amazing. This recipe uses very few ingredients and will be ready in no time at all. Prepared wild rice is layered in a baking dish with chicken, cheese, a cream of chicken soup mixture and herb stuffing. The only thing that needs to be cooked in advance for this recipe is the wild rice. The chicken is sliced into chunks and then placed into the casserole dish raw and fully cooked in the oven during the baking process. I like to serve this casserole with a salad on the side or by itself. Enjoy.
