Adding fresh sautéed mushrooms gives this dish a lift.
Not your grandmother’s chicken and rice casserole. I love this classic dish! We grew up eating this and looking forward to leftovers. In fact, it’s requested that my mom make this when she comes to visit. But I wanted to turn this dish up a little without straying too far. The sautéed mushrooms give this dish a deep and rich flavor that you can’t get from a can of soup. And the blend of spices adds warmth to what could be, if not careful, a one-dimensional dish from the past. Oh yeah, this is another kid-tested and approved dish in our house! Roasted broccoli, green beans, or a garden salad go great with this dish and can be add ons.
