Notes
You can use any combo of cream soup. I like cream of chicken and cream of celery or cream of onion for extra flavor.
Use only 2 cans of soup for a less creamy casserole.
You can use 4 to 6 boneless chicken breasts or thighs here.
Some recipes call for leaving the chicken and rice casserole covered the entire time. You can do that, but you may have to add another 15 minutes to the cook time. Removing the foil halfway through the cooking process allows the chicken to cook faster and brown a little.
