I really want you to try this recipe, friend! Let's take a moment and discuss the main ingredients.
CHICKEN
I recommend using boneless chicken thighs in this Chicken and Rice Casserole recipe. Black chicken is much more tender and delicious, and that is why it works best here. That said, you can use chicken breast meat, if that's what you have.
RICE
The RICE basmati rice is clear for use for Casserole chicken rice. It cooks fast and doesn't contain flour, so you will end up with rice that is very crispy. I do not recommend using other types of rice in this recipe.
