    Is this good for freezing?

    1. Jenn, I’ve never tried freezing it. I freeze cooked chicken and cooked rice (separately) with great results, though. I don’t see why you couldn’t freeze the assembled casserole. If you try it, I’d love to know how it comes out!

  3. This sounds delicious, Judy! Thanks so much for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I look forward to making this for my family. 🙂

  4. OH, I LOVE recipes like this…I will have to add it to my menu!
