Notes
- This recipe uses cooked chicken; leftover or rotisserie chicken works well.
- Instant rice is baked uncooked, absorbing the liquid during cooking to become tender.
- Adjust salt and pepper gradually, as canned soups may add saltiness.
- Cover casserole while baking initially to retain moisture, then uncover to brown the top.
