In my defense, I have cleared out the entire basement storage of things I wanted to donate or trash. I’ve pared it down as much as I can. I’m proud of myself that I saved all of our moving boxes from our previous move. So between those, and our joint addiction to Amazon Prime, we should be good to go!But I still LOATHE packing.This Crockpot Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole is the perfect dinner to just set in your slow cooker and have dinner ready when your family is ready.

Kristin saysOctober 7, 2018 at 6:16 pmDelicious and so easy! I used half portobello mushrooms, half white mushrooms and chicken stock (instead of water) for extra flavor. Reply
D.J. saysOctober 31, 2018 at 10:07 pmMy who!e family loved it. This was the very first dish my son cooked for his kids (frozen pizza aside). I’ve made it several times. Now when I make it for just my husband, I use 1/2 c of chicken broth in place of 1\2 c of the water and a little ground red pepper since he likes food spicer.Reply
