  Took longer than 20 minutes...onions still crunchy, would have preferred them softer for the kiddos.

  Ensure you either make the wild rice ahead of time or plan for another hour of cooking time. Saute the onions or else they'll be pretty much raw. As is, this recipe wasn't very good & took way too long to prepare for a casserole.

  @Anonymous(s)- Here are some tips to help the rice work better in this casserole. First, most of the boxed packages of wild rice only take 25 minutes to cook in boiling water (according to package directions). You could fully cook the rice as directed and then mix it in with the other casserole ingredients and cook the casserole for 15-20 minutes in the oven to just heat everything through. If you don't want to precook the rice I would suggest adding 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth to the casserole mixture to give the rice enough liquid to cook in. Or you could try using the 'fast cooking' variety of boxed wild rice that only cooks in 5 minutes. This quick cooking rice would probably work just fine in this casserole without precooking it.

  I tried this the first time with the 10 minute rice and it was good. The second time I actually had enough time to use the wild rice which took 25 minutes, but it was a tasty recipe. I might add a few more veggies to it next time in lieu of the onions to make the kids like it more (i was the first @anonymous) Overall I like this and will definitely make it again!

  Next time I'll sub the mayo for cream of mushroom. When preparing this meal get started on the wild rice first, and while that is simmering start cooking the meat. For softer onions prepare them with the chicken.

  I found this to taste heavy and greasy. I think it was the mayo. I may modify it - adding some hidden valley ranch powder and not using as much mayo. I think it has potential...

  @Anonymous- To cut down on the amount of fat and heaviness of this recipe try reducing the amount of mayonnaise called for to 1/2 cup or replacing it with light sour cream or fat free Greek yogurt. Also you could omit the creamed soup and make your own cream sauce by making a roux. For more information about this check out these useful links to Food on the Table discussions with tips to making a roux and homemade creamed soup sauce: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/850-gluten-free-roux-question) and (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/471-does-a-roux-always-start-with-butter-and-flour) and (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/670-does-anyone-have-any-ideas-about-what-i-can-do-for-a-no-cheese-version-of-mac-and-cheese) and (http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/586-easy-condensed-soup-substitution).

  I do not pre-cook the rice; I mix it in raw and add the amount of water called for in the rice directions to the recipe. I substituted cream of mushroom soup (Campbell's has a new one 'with garlic' for cooking) and also substituted frozen peas and corn for the green beans. This was a hit at my house.

  Holy cow this was good! I used Uncle Ben's brown rice instead of the wild rice and added extra cheese. Yum!

  I forgot to start this early, so I diced the chicken raw and sauteed it with the onion while I microwaved some minute rice. Instead of all mayo I used greek yogurt and a few tablespoons of mayo, but I think that I'd skip the mayo next time... Tossed it all together, baked it for 15 minutes and it was tasty easy good. The man said he loved it, and requested that next time I add french's fried onions.

  This was really good! We always use brown rice, so I made brown rice in my rice cooker. I wasn't sure about the mayo, so I used half sour cream and half mayo (maybe more sour cream than mayo). We don't like onions, so I left that out. Probably used a little more cheese than the recipe called for. But it was YUMMY! Doesn't look nearly as yummy as it tastes, though. One of my kids made a comment about the way it looked but then devoured her entire plate in about 5 minutes!!!! She loved it!! Waiting on final opinion of the other kids. But I'm pretty sure this one is a KEEPER!

  This wasn't good for us! I think the cream of celery isn't liked in my family. Maybe next time I will try it with cream of chicken.

  Forgot to mention that I also used cream of chicken soup (organic) instead of cream of celery soup. Not sure how much of a difference it made.

  Not everybody likes Cream of Celery soup. Cream of Chicken is a perfect substitution.

  Great dish. The only thing is that I did not have canned green beans so I used fresh carrots and fresh brocolli. That was a mistake because it did not get done enough. Next time if I use raw vegetables I will try baking with uncooked rice so they will get done. I also doubled the recipe and added some pinto beans instead of chicken since I did not have much chicken on hand. I did not have cream of celery soup so I used cream of chicken instead. And I did not use the mayonnaise. My husband said that there was not enough flavor. Not sure what to do to add more flavor. My kids loved it.

  I sauteed fresh broccoli, mushrooms and minced garlic with about 1Tblspoon of Olive Oil. When they were fork tender I added them to all the other ingredients. I cooked the rice in the microwave and by the time I was done doing the other things the rice was ready to add. I cooked for about 20 minutes at 350. It came out awesome - my partner had seconds and thirds! Will definitely cook again.

  Loved this! I used the 5 minute wild rice, and added more cheese than called for. Everybody loved it! I also got rotisserie chicken at the grocery store so I didn't have to cook the chicken. It was a very easy recipe.

  I thought it was a little Dull, I had a strong desire to add French's onions to the top. I had skipped the onions in it because picky eaters. Others loved it and willingly ate leftovers which is rare.

  This sounds like a recipe I make often. I use a rotisserie chicken. This has a better flavor to me than plain chicken.

  Try 2 packages of uncle ben's microwaveable long grain rice. Adds lots of flavor and reduces cook time! Also, sauté the onions with the chicken to get them a little softer.
