Easy Dinner-Chicken Rice Casserole

I have been blessed with the opportunity to work part-time (3 days a week) and love the flexibility it gives me to do a job I love and also get extra time at home with my boys. The days that I work are always hectic. The morning is full of running around like crazy trying to get out the door on time and the evenings are full of dinner, baths, playtime, brushing teeth, stories and bedtime all crammed into a 2-3 hour time period.

I have found that prepping a few dinners on Sunday to have ready to pop in the oven on the days that I work has been a huge time-saver and has taken the stress out of getting dinner ready. One of my favorite make ahead meals in Chicken and Rice casserole. I mix everything together, put it in the pan and then all I have to do is throw the pan in the oven when I walk in the door. Best of all this dinner makes enough for 2 whole meals!  My 3-year-old and 11-month- old both love it and I often find my hubby going back for seconds and thirds!
