Directions
Mix all ingredients except cheese and crackers. Place in a very large casserole (13x9) or two smaller tin pans (8x8). Top with crackers and cheese. Bake at 350º until bubbly.
My aunt has frozen this casserole before and after cooking with good results. If freezing uncooked, she recommends adding crackers and cheese just before baking so the crackers don't get soggy.
For my non-American friends: Rice-a-Roni is a seasoned rice and vermicelli mix. The seasoning packet is loaded with spices and salt. If you make up your own rice blend as a substitute, you might want to add extra seasonings. (IMO, I think brown rice and low-sodium bouillon would be great.) The Ritz crackers are buttery, salty round crackers. I imagine you could use any type of cracker that you'd ordinarily top a casserole with.
NOTES : I use 4-6 boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces.
