Easy, delicious dish. Substituted regular long grain rice for vigo and added some frozen carrots. Turned out great!

I boiled a whole chicken putting it in water and chicken stock and bay leaves. Also boiled my rice in the same water that I boiled the chicken in. I used cream of mushroom soup and frozen vegetables. Mixed it all together and put in the oven. Also one can of mushrooms.

I love this chicken and rice recipe. I have made it several times.

Convenient, shelf stable recipe, but very HIGH in sodium!

Low or no sodium canned chicken and Campbell's Healthy Soups are always in my pantry for casseroles like these!

That leaves me out, then. I've been off salt for over 50 years, having lost a g-mother and mother to CHF. I bet, tho, this could be adapted to a much lower salt content, with some tweaking... like substitute maybe some no salt chicken or vegetable broth, thickened with cornstarch or flour? and use fresh chicken w/no added salt, or rinse canned chicken to get rid of most of the salt in that? the same w/ any canned veges, if you don't have fresh... I may try that out.

About as easy as it gets for a good, warm meal. Can easily gussy it up by adding some cooked broccoli before baking and adding some cheese at the end. Great if you need to save money, great if you don't!

Easy to make as is. I used lower sodium products once, but it needed salt. I find adding a drained 15 oz can of no sodium french style green beans or 10 oz of frozen broccoli helps lower sodium levels. Cream of broccoli soup is a good add to either vegetable. Water chestnuts to be tried soon... Has Anyone tried asparagus and cream of asparagus soup??

How MUCH does it lower the salt, to sub in broccoli or green beans? I rarely see ANY canned soups that have less than 600mg of sodium, per can.

I'm about to make this for the umpteenth time. I double the recipe for a 9x13 dish and I use three cans of chicken, one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken (or whatever else I have on hand). I always add the sautéed onions on the bottom and French fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese on top. I also add a little cayenne pepper for a kick.

For this version I plan to add the suggested garlic, water chestnuts and Rotel. I'm adding Rotel instead of the cayenne pepper I typically use, because I have one so why not?

I really like this recipe because it is simple and you can play around with different ingredients. It also freezes quite well. I vacuum freeze individual portions for a quick meal.

I gave this 3 stars only due to the quick and easy aspect of this recipe... but in all honesty... it's pretty bland. I added extra spices and the suggested onions.. just not a lot of flavor, no matter how easy it is.
