Yay! I'm so glad that you made this and enjoyed it. :)
I love chicken cordon bleu and what a great way to make it into a casserole!
LOVED this! Made a bunch for freezing as well.... we have a baby coming soon, and we need to have meals handy. However, don't make my mistake and use uncooked rice! We had some crunchy rice in the mix, but a little chicken stock and 10 more minutes of cooking time helped a lot. I also added some extra cooked rice at the end to bulk it up, after my disastrous mistake! LOL - I never know when to use cooked or uncooked rice in recipes - I'm such a novice!
This is a very tasty recipe! I am not an instant rice fan so I used 1/2 C. brown rice which I cooked according to standard brown rice instructions. I let the whole mixture cool then assembled it in a plastic/foil lined 9X9 pan and put it in the freezer to be thawed and baked at a later date. Thanks for the recipe!
