Or you can use brown rice as a substitute for white rice in this dish. To do so you will want to increase your liquids by a half a cup in total and increase the covered cooking time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. I am sure to check the rice before pulling the dish from the oven to make sure it is fully cooked. 

But if you would prefer to turn this recipe into a pasta bake follow the guidelines in this recipe while still using the ingredients listed above. 

You can also use heavy cream. It is also called heavy whipping cream because it is whipping cream with a milk fat content between 35-40 percent. 

I prefer chicken breast in this casserole dish but boneless skinless thighs can be used as well. 

I prefer a short grain rice in this casserole because I like a stickier rice for a casserole dish but a longer grain rice would work as well. Also brown rice can be used as well but the cooking time would be a bit longer.
