Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

Do you ever crave the recipes from your childhood? There has to be at least one dish you wish you could make as well as your mom did (and at least a bit more healthy). My mother made a great chicken and rice casserole, but I can still see the Cream of Mushroom soup plopping out of the can in the form of a gelatinous white cylinder. Although, it was yummy, I try as much as possible to avoid cooking with anything that comes out of a can. This is my version of Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole that’s just as delicious as the one I ate as a kid, only more nutritious and a lot more fresh!
