Chicken and Rice Casserole

I am not a big fan of Casseroles, but this looked interesting. very easy to make, and I served it with the previous post of Wheat Bread. :) ... *Kid Approved* again! Wow, Carter really enjoyed this. I did not think he was going to take to it like he did. He was shoveling large portions into his mouth and even had seconds! Wow...this is noted for sure.

Recipe:
1 Tbs Butter 1 Medium Onion, peeled and diced
3 Cups diced, cooked chicken
2 (14.5 oz) Cans of green beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8 oz) can of water chestnuts, drained and chopped (or left whole if you like the large crunch)
1 (4 oz) jar of pimentos (I actually did not have any, so this was exempt)
1 (10.34oz) can of cream of celery
1 cup Mayonnaise (did not have this either! so, added a whole can of cream of chicken - it worked)
1 box of wild rice, cooked
1.5 Cups of Cheese
Pinch of Salt

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and add the onions. Saute until translucent - about 5 or so mins. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.

3. Cook your wild rice, according to package.

4. Cook the chicken! I actually cooked 3 small breasts whole, then shredded and added to bowl. I like shredding better than having cubes awkwardly placed in my dish.

5. Add all remaining ingredients top a bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.

6. Pour into a greased 3 quart casserole dish and bake for 20-25 mins, or until bubbly. Let stand for a few mins, than serve! Yes, it is that easy. :)
