Chicken & Rice Casserole

I guess you can say I sort of made this dish up....I got the idea though from the one and only Paula Deen on the  food network website. 

ingredients:

Makes two 9 by 11 baking dishes.

4 cups of uncooked rice-cooked

2 28oz can green beans

5 cups of shredded chicken

1 onion

2 cups mayo

salt/pepper

Cream Sauce:

1/2 cup oil

1/2 flour

8 cups of milk

1 teaspoons celery salt

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoons garlic salt

Chicken flavoring

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 block of velveeta cheese

Directions:

heat the chicken and green beans in a large sauce pan with some salt and pepper.   After that is heated though place the chicken and green beans in a large mixing bowl and coat with the mayo.  

Sauce:

heat oil until bubbly then add the flour and stir until no lumps.  quickly add the milk and whisk.  Add the chicken flavoring, and the salts.  Add the cheese, if it's not thickening after 5 minutes add the cornstarch.  

Spray the pans and spread the rice evenly in the bottom, mix in the chicken and green bean mixture.  Pour the cheese sauce over them and mix lightly so not to mush the rice.   Bake at 345F until light brown and bubbly.  Enjoy!
