Notes

If you don't have wild rice on hand, you can substitute with brown rice or white rice. Just keep in mind that the cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice you use. To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken instead of cooking and shredding your own. If you want to add some extra veggies to the casserole, feel free to throw in some chopped broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
