Chicken and rice casserole is healthy and delicious. This food is one of my favorites, and I’m sure if you try it you will like it. When I first tried it, I put in a lot of corn and it felt like a plain corn casserole. Make sure to adjust the corn accordingly while cooking, otherwise you may end up doing what I did.

USEFUL INFORMATION
First of all, I thank you for taking the time to read this recipe. The best thing about food is that you don’t have to follow directions all the time. There would be no new recipes if we just followed the instructions, so my advice will be to adjust the recipe according to your taste.
I would like to add information on brown rice. As you may already know, brown rice takes a long time to cook, so it can take time to absorb liquids. And that is why it is better to use precooked brown rice, it will completely absorb the liquids. By using precooked brown rice, you will reduce the time it takes to cook this recipe. One more thing, minced garlic clover was added for flavor, but if you’d rather not use it, you can leave it. Corn is one of the options that you can adjust accordingly. If you don’t like corn, removing it won’t affect the recipe much, but I recommend using all of the ingredients mentioned above.
