The chicken needs seasoning. Followed the advice from a comment. I think the rice would have really made the casserole bland, otherwise. Rice & chicken always need some spice. Was surprised Julia didn’t have her usual blend of garlic and/or onion salt, salt, pepper, & paprika in this dish.
I made this for New Year’s Eve and my family loves it! We are so full and happy and satisfied. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
This casserole was wonderful! Creamy, flavorful, with great texture. I think the wild rice really works well compared to ordinary white rice. Definitely a keeper!
I love this.
I seasoned my chicken with some poultry seasoning, and a little bit of garlic salt and ground black pepper. Overall, my family and I found this comforting and pretty good.
This was absolutely delicious! I wouldn’t pay attention to the low stars, I think the rating system accidentally gets bumped while people are scrolling down the page. One pan dinner and so satisfying. Thank you!
