Main Dishes Casserole Recipes Chicken Rice Chicken Fajita Rice Casserole 4.4 (11) 8 Reviews 5 Photos This rice and chicken casserole is very easy to pull together and has a lot of flavor. Don't skip toasting the rice - it is an incredibly easy way to add just a hint of nuttiness and more depth of flavor. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, or whatever topping you prefer.
