chicken and rice casserole

I first made this for my Fur Babies (3 Labrador Retrievers) when I was boarding them as we were going out of town, and I felt a little guilty because this was the first time they were being treated like 'dogs.' While I was putting it together my Dad came through the kitchen and was sneaking bites while he packed the car. Afterwards he asked why I had never fixed it for us and was the first to make the observation that my Babies were treated better than most people. Hope it's enjoyed by people and fur babies
