    This sounds good, but do you think it would work without the cheese and with a milk substitute? I’m always looking for good ideas for using rice!

    Jennifer,

    I don’t have much (any) experience with milk substitutes, so go with what you’ve done before, like if you’ve used them successfully in a casserole or to make a rice dish. The cheese definitely isn’t necessary, especially if you’re putting chicken over it – the recipe for creamed chicken has milk in it, of course, but you could just use chicken stock and thicken it up a little with flour or cornstarch for a very similar result.
    Hope it works! Feel free to comment again if you have success in case others wonder the same…
