Chicken Casserole

From: ???

Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts, cooked
1 stack Ritz crackers, crumbled
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 stick margarine, melted
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup cooked rice



Add margarine to crackers. Mix soups, chestnuts, pepper, cheese and rice. Layer in 9x13 pan: 1/2 soup mixture, then chicken, then other 1/2 soup mixture. Top with cracker mixture. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.


What I did differently from the recipe:
Stephen doesn't like cream of mushroom soup so I put two cans of cream of chicken soup in there instead. I left out the water chestnuts completely.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing different than what I did this time. Although I think using chicken tenders would be good. I halved my chicken breasts before putting them in the dish and I'm so glad I did that, just for thinner servings and not so much of a chicken flavor all at one time.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Stephen was so hesitant to try this recipe... then he ate four helpings! This was such an easy recipe and will become something I make often I'm sure!

I made your chicken casserole for dinner and it was delicious, as expected. Probably soon to be added to our Sunday lunch rotation! Love you, Mom
