Chicken And Rice Baked Casserole
I am looking for a chicken and rice baked casserole dish. Rice was cooked in covered pan in oven. Then chicken, broth, evaporated milk, tumeric, onions(?) were cooked on stove top. This was then poured over cooked rice and baked with grated cheese on top, with some green onions in the mix. Anyone have the recipe?
