Cheesy Chicken Rice Casserole

I found this recipe last year thanks to someone posting the link on facebook.  I cannot believe I never came across something like this before.  It is so easy!!

I have found it takes longer than 50 minutes even in a working oven (first time I made it was in a dodgy non fan forced oven).  I also cut and flatten the chicken so it cooks evenly and quickly.  Another option is to just do the rice without adding the chicken, this way you can use any flavour soup and serve it with whatever!!  This is definitely added to my winter menu from now on!!

Linking up with One Mother Hen for Open Slather.

Ps sorry about the American measurements!!
