Review of Chicken and Rice Casserole

As I said before I am doing more crockpot recipes and pulling from the web site A Year of Slow Cooking.

So the first dish up is the Chicken and Rice Casserole.
It was ok, I think I'd give it 2 stars. We had to pull out the BBQ sauce for the girls to eat it.

First off, I had to cook on high. Sorry I don't feel well, dinner is getting started at around 11:30 a.m., not 8 a.m., so I don't have the time to cook on low. Unless I don't want my children to sleep, but that causes all sorts of other problems.
So the chicken was dry. As I made it, I kept looking at going 'I don't think this is enough liquid' and I was right. If I were to make this again, I think I would whip up another half batch of the "soup" and put it on top of the chicken. John says to do that, but split the 1/2 batch so half of it (1/4 of a batch, if you are keeping up) goes on the chicken then, and then the other half (1/4?) goes on about an hour before you are ready to eat.

We might try this again, but it would be completely re-vamped if we did.

Tonight we try the Indian Spiced Lentils with Chicken. Crossing our fingers that it comes out well. (Also being cooked on high.)
