Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 °F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch oven safe casserole dish (mine was ceramic, but you may use glass).

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss all the ingredients except the Ritz crackers, together until well-incorporated.

Step 3

Pour the ingredients into the greased casserole dish, spread into an even layer, then sprinkle Ritz crackers on top of the mixture.

Step 4

Bake mixture, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes, or whenever rice and chicken are done cooking (mine took about 40 minutes, yours may take longer depending on your oven).

Step 5

To get a deeper, golden color, you may put the casserole under the broiler for 3-5 minutes. Be careful to watch it carefully!

Step 6

Serve immediately.

Step 7

I used 5 minute rice and baked for 50 minutes
