I was recently going through my own cookbooks. Then noticed I still have a lot of great recipes that I love that I still have not shared with you. I thought I shared most of them during my first few years of blogging, but there are still quite a few that I haven’t shared. This picnic casserole happens to be one of them.
It is one that the family loves. It’s basically like a hot chicken and rice salad. It is a great recipe to make with leftover rice and chicken. It is just one of those all around great comfort dishes that we all love.
