EASY CHICKEN CASSEROLE 
2 c. cooked rice, Minute Rice works well
10 oz. blanched broccoli
2 c. cooked, chopped chicken
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Layer first 3 ingredients in a 2 quart casserole dish. Mix remaining ingredients and spread on top. Bake in microwave 10 minutes on high until bubbly. Stir sauce once while cooking or bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This works great with leftover chicken and rice. Easy and fast. Make ahead and cook later.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

I just pulled this out of the oven and it was great! I did make two changes - pasta for rice, and mixed veggies for straight broccoli. But there was just enough sauce and it was very flavorful. I bet cream of celery would be good in this too.
