    I was wondering if you could provide a weight for the potatoes, since I really donโ€™t know how to judge a medium potato (Russet, Yukon, etc.). Thanks :)

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Usually between 5-10 ounces.

  3. Yommi says:

    Thanks for this chicken Casserole recipe. I use a lot of chicken meals and always am open to different ingredients used in them. Please post any other ways using rice, noodles etc. You’re the best”

      Thanks.

    Hi. If I double the recipe would the baking time be different? Thanks!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Should be the same.

  6. Lolo says:

    Love this recipe, great job! I have made it several times and always delish! I have even switched it up and added mushrooms or green beans and always a hit! Thank you~

    1. Brenda says:

      Can you put this together and bake a couple hours later?

      1. Rasa Malaysia says:

        Yes.

  7. Tracy says:

    Can this be altered to use hot sauce or another zesty flavor?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Sure.

  8. Harold Burton says:

    I made this tonight almost exactly as the new directions say. I had baked chicken left over from Sunday dinner so I used cooked chicken instead of raw. I just added the chicken and the rice a little later. It was not too thick at all. In fact just perfect. I love soup. Will be a family favorite.

    1. Admin says:

      Thanks for your support!

  9. Ria says:

    Can we substitute the potato with sweet potato?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You can but I don’t think it will taste very good with sweet potatoes.

  10. Cicely says:

    I made this for my daughter and I. It was very good! I will use powdered ranch the next time. My daughter loved it!

      Thanks!
