Notes

  • Other than cream of chicken soup, you can use cream of mushroom soup. It won't change the taste too much.
  • Start cooking your rice towards the end of the cooking time.
  • To store, place each item - from the creamy chicken to the individual toppings - in its own airtight container. Reheat the rice and chicken over medium heat on the stove top. Or you heat individual servings in the microwave.
  • You can use brown rice, basmati or cauliflower rice.
Topping Suggestions:
Classic Toppings: oranges, olives, diced tomatoes, chow mein noodles, and diced green onion.
Other topping ideas: pineapple tidbits, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, green peas, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, shredded cheese, and sunflower seeds.
