A family Favorite
I substitute thyme for the cilantro (1/4 teaspoon) and skip the onions. It's as good as Stouffers "Grandma's Bake" and my family loves it.

Chicken and Rice Casserole
I did not enjoy this recipe,but my husband did.The onion was a little crunchy and I didn't like the consistency of the casserole.The cheese seemed to disappear.If I make it again I will grate the onion so it cooks better and sprinkle on extra cheese when I plate it.I would like it better if it were more creamy

Chicken & Rice
This is a wonderful dish. Easy recipe and great taste. I put jalapenos on my husband's portion only. Too hot for the rest of the family.
