Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

I must give a HUGE hat-tip to my mom for this recipe. Over the course of the last week, I have made 4 batches of this wonderful casserole. It's super easy and most of us have all the ingredients on hand. So without further ado...

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
recipe courtesy of my Mom

1 cup cooked, de-boned and diced chicken breast
1 8 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 pkg. Uncle Ben's Original Long Grain and Wild Rice

Topping

1 cup mayonnaise (I used light mayo)
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Cook rice according to package directions. Combine topping ingredients in medium mixing bowl and set aside. Mix together first 5 ingredients and place in 11x7 baking dish or 2 qt. casserole dish. Spread soup/mayo mixture on top, sprinkle with paprika (optional) and bake, covered, at 325 for 1 hour.

Enjoy!
