Pregnancy craving alert! Visions of chicken, mushrooms & rice would not leave my thoughts so I needed a plan to quell this craving. In comes my Gram’s Chicken & Rice Casserole. But since I have been exhausted by the time I get home from work, the last thing I wanted to think about was cooking a casserole; I wanted that deliciousness ready the moment I walked through the door. I decided to “Crockpot Style” this recipe as my Crockpot is a pregnant woman’s best friend.
