Newly Discovered **Chicken and Rice Casserole**

Alright I must say that I missed the boat with Paula Deen. I've never been one to watch cooking shows, including Rachael Ray. However recently, I was watching quick little videos to earn Swagbucks and came across a whole set of them for Paula Deen. I actually came away with a few recipes from her videos and they have ALL been great, but there is ONE that really stood out for me and I thought that I'd share it with all of you!
