Chicken & Rice Casserole

Chicken & Rice Casserole

This is a great casserole for a cool fall day. Honestly we ate this monthly as I was growing up. It's a recipe that has passed down through 3 generations now. I consider this meal a "level 2" casserole as it can be tricky to get the chicken, rice and vegetables to be evenly cooked. This being said, we came up with a few tricks to make this a perfect cook every time. We hope you enjoy this satisfying and hearty meal as much as we have!

Cucumber Chutney

This is a traditional garnish from Mauritius (called Satini Concombre by Island locals) for a variety of dishes (mostly of Indian origin). It is meant to cleanse the palate from the spice overload of a well seasoned curry. This cucumber side salad is a deliciously refreshing addition to curries and spicy dishes.
