Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole is part of my series on Bags to Dishes meals. For Bags to Dishes meals, all ingredients are shelf stable so that is an even bigger plus. Assemble the ingredients for a few months worth of these casseroles if you have a hankering to, and know that that bag will be ready to grab whenever you need it. My family gobbles this one up and everyone wants seconds so if we’re all here, I usually make double.
Be sure to read the original post to find out how you can convert your own meals into shelf stable ones in order to have your family’s favorite recipes available with the grab of a bag and never have to worry about what’s for supper again!

Here is what our bag meal looks like when we grab it.
Ingredients all laid out for the Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole.
This is what you would put in the actual bag when assembling the ingredients for this meal.
Long Grain and Wild Rice (Watch for a sale on this and then stock up!)
Cream of mushroom soup (A recipe for homemade can be found here )
Cut Green Beans
Sliced almonds*.
Can You Substitute Anything for The Almonds?
Now you can leave the almonds out if you want or you can substitute water chestnuts if you like. You could also substitute french fried onions for these, that would be good, too!
How To Make a Chicken And Wild Rice Casserole
Step by Step Instructions

Make sure you assemble a few extra meals of this Chicken and Wild Rice recipe when you go to make your Bags to Dishes meals! It is just that good. You can leave the chicken out and serve this as a side dish as well or use two bag meals of this and add some warm rolls for a larger family meal.
