CHICKEN TERRIFIC WITH A SURPRISE TWIST
This Chicken-Tastic casserole features wild rice, water chestnuts, and French-style green beans, giving it a twist on a classic chicken and rice casserole. It is generously topped with buttery herb stuffing.
This yummy casserole recipe came to me from my daughter, Jennifer. Chicken Terrific is a favorite casserole on her dinner table and has also become a favorite of mine.
This dish makes a lot, and with four growing boys, she wants a dish that lasts a couple of days.
This is not your typical casserole.
The ingredients might surprise you, including wild rice, water chestnuts, French-style green beans, and a buttery herb stuffing that elevates it to the next level.
In fact, it is better the next day when all the ingredients come together to make a yummy leftover meal.

What is so great about preparing this delightful casserole is that it can be made a day in advance. Just add the topping before putting it in the oven.
The aroma is incredible and enticing enough to dig in as soon as it finishes baking. I served it with a delicious salad and hot bread. It makes a terrific potluck dish for any gathering.
Plan to take it to your next potluck supper, and you will get rave reviews!

ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much for posting this! When my husband used to work at a local convenience store, they would have potluck Christmas parties, and one of his former coworkers brought this one time. It took forever for me to get the recipe from her, and then, when I had it, I lost it in a move. I've been mourning the loss of it ever since. She called it her mother's green bean casserole, but I love how it can be made as a one dish meal. The recipe was so similar to this one!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found this recipe…thank you for stopping by!!
DeleteLooks like a winning combination of ingredients, Kay! My family would love this. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteMiz Kay - what a winning recipe! I apologize for not stopping by sooner today to tell you this lovely dish received most clicks at last week's Weekend Potluck party.. being featured this week. Hopefully you saw it. Enjoy those leftovers Dearie!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marsha for stopping by...see you next week :)
DeleteIs the wild rice cooked before putting it into the casserole? The rice I bought says to cook for 45 to 60 minutes.
ReplyDeleteHELP......PLEASE tell me where I can find a 6-1/2 oz. pkg. of wild rice....??? It takes awhile to cook it like the previous person questioned, too....?? I have looked all over for it....?? Can another rice work in it's place...??
ReplyDeleteI want to make it for church potluck Wed. nite.....Love a reply.....THANKS, Sandy B.
That sounds very good! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome dish Miz Kay! Congrats on receiving most clicks at this week's Weekend Potluck party. So glad you shared with us. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marsha...hugs!
DeletePerfect name for the dish, Kay! It looks terrific!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by to chat...hugs!
DeleteLooks wonderful! 2 questions....do you cook the rice first and also, do you make the stiffing then add the extra butter? Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe does not state to cook the rice or the stuffing. Just mix as stated. The brown rice cooks in the casserole and the stuffing is mix dry with the butter and then sprinkle over the casserole mixture.

DeleteOMG I think I've just found the perfect leftover Thanksgiving dish. I know it's a Chicken Terrific Casserole but I bet this would still be terrific with leftover turkey. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful....I seldom follow any recipe exactly, I tweak for family preferences. I think some artichoke hearts might be a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Artichokes sound good....You have the right idea...that is why it is called Chicken Terrific!

ReplyDeleteYOU SHOULD INDICATE COOKED WILD RICE UNDER INGREDIENTS. I cooked this recipe with it raw & it was ruined.
DeleteSorry it did not work for you. I have never had any problems with the rice not cooking. Maybe you left out something?
DeleteYum! Now I am craving chicken! I love roasting whole chickens on Sunday evenings, and I always use the bones to make a broth. It’s a great way to have a surplus of broth in the freezer, and it’s so handy when anyone in my house gets sick! I will try this recipe the next Sunday I roast a chicken 🙂 deepwebsiteslinks.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this recipie, I made this tonight, and it was amazing!! I am am going to freeze the leftover miso mixture in an ice cube tray for easy measurement in the future. For soft boiled eggs place eggs in 1″ boiling water, cover and cook for 6 minutes exactly, and they come out perfectly. Thanks again!
