How To Make "funeral" casserole

Step 1

Saute breasts in olive oil & garlic about 5 minutes per side. Place in casserole dish. (I always use disposible when I'm taking to someone)Top each breast with a big spoonful of the green chilies. Sprinkle with cheese. Pour cream over. Place in oven @ 350 degrees for 25 minutes, basting once. While chicken is baking make 1-2 recipes of rice (follow package directions-I use 2 bags of Success Boil in bag rice)Remove pan from oven. Transfer chicken i piece at a time to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces. Return to pan with creamy-cheezy sauce. Add prepared rice and stir well.YUM!
