2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped

1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted (I used fat free)

1 cup celery chopped

1 cup rice (I used instant brown rice) cooked

1/2 tsp. salt pepper to taste

1 cup sliced water chestnuts

1/4 cup mayonnaise crushed multi-grain or regular tostitos

Combine all ingredients and place in ungreased casserole. Top with crushed tostitos. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes about six servings. Enjoy!

Try this tasty dish with other toppings such as Ritz crackers or crushed potato chips and make it with leftover turkey or even ham.

  1. Same equivalent of instant rice to regular uncooked rice?
    Cup to cup?

      No, a cup of cooked rice, wouldn’t be the same as a cup of uncooked rice.

    1. Just to be sure I understand correctly, I need to cook 1 cup of rice which will yield 3 cups of cooked rice. Is that right?

  6. This looks delicious! I love the idea of using the pre-cooked brown rice in the casserole. It really speeds up the prep time. Thanks for the recipe.
