Chicken and Rice Casserole

This is another dish I never ate growing up.  My father did not eat it, so my mother did not cook it.  This casserole is one of my husband's favorites.  I do not cook it often as it takes a lot of time.  I usually only make it when I have left over rice and chicken already cooked.  

 
Chicken and Rice Casserole
Ingredients
2 chicken breast cooked and chopped   
2 cups cooked rice
1 can cream of mushroom soup       
½ small onion chopped fine      
½ Tablespoon butter
Crushed potato chips

Directions

1. Saute the onion in a small amount of butter.
2. Mix chicken, rice, soup and onion and pour in a greased casserole dish.  
3. Put chips on top.  
4. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Notes
For added flavor to the dish, cook the rice in the chicken broth made by cooking the chicken breast.

One recipe will feed 6 people easily. 

You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate.  Allow for 45 minutes to an hour cook time if you do so.

The chips will get soggy if left covered after cooked.  To make them crispy again, stick back in a heated oven for a few minutes.
