I absolutely love fixing recipes that are not only easy and quick to prepare, but are delicious and satisfying as well. And I am particularly fond of casseroles….particularly during the cooler months of the year! This chicken rice and asparagus casserole is simple and delicious too!
It is based on an old recipe that I had in my recipe box. I think it probably came from an old magazine and was passed down to me from my mother. The original called for canned condensed soup. But now, I’ve changed it to include homemade cream of mushroom soup which is much more whole food oriented. Feel free to use a good organic cream of mushroom instead. Completely yummy!
Make this chicken rice and asparagus casserole recipe gluten free by using gluten free cream of mushroom soup! If you use homemade, grain free cream of mushroom soup, you can technically make this dish grain free as well!
