Crunchy Hot Chicken Casserole

This casserole may not be spicy, but it comes out of the oven piping hot! The celery and the unique addition of crispy cereal will make this a dish that the kids will love to eat.

Notes

You can substitute chicken legs for the breasts if you prefer dark meat.

I believe it would be 3 cups of cooked rice. 6 cups of rice would be an out of balance casserole -- waaaayyyyy too much starch!!!

I believe there may be an error in the rice amount: 3 c. rice, cooked will give you about 6 c. rice. Surely it does not require this much. If it is meant to be 3 c. cooked rice, you would start with about 1 & 1/2 c. raw rice, which, when cooked doubles giving you 3 c. cooked rice.

Since there is no answer to the first comment, I assume the rice amount is 3 c of uncooked rice (which is to be cooked and added to the ingredients). I agree that's a lot of rice for two chicken breasts, but the casserole will go farther with more rice.

I'm confused about the rice. Is it suppose to be 3 cups of cooked rice. 3 cups of rice, cooked seems like a lot of rice.
