I highly recommend using one of the many cream soup substitute recipes available online instead of the canned cream soups, and using a mix of half-and-half sour cream and mayo instead of straight-up mayo.  Be prepared to thin the result with some milk or some chicken stock. This will help address the glutinous nature of the original recipe. Also in regard to texture, I think the use of frozen French green beans is probably a great idea. I made a mistake there by going back to my memories of the original recipe my family followed and used store-brand canned French green beans, and they kind of disappeared in the casserole, so I won't be doing that again! This recipe calls for cubed chicken, as did my family's original. Don't substitute shredded chicken. Shredded chicken can meld with rice in a disagreeable way, while the cubes stand apart and add variety to the textures in the dish. We followed another reviewer's suggestion to cut the sliced water chestnuts in half, and were happy with that.    As far as flavor goes, think \"savory\". The original version of this recipe that I used decades ago called for a dash of Worcestershire sauce. For today's tastes, a one-to-one mix of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce provide wonderfully balanced savory flavor or umami. I recommend two teaspoons of each, to start. (I doubled the recipe and used almost two tablespoons of each.) And you must add lots of pepper. My husband grills chicken breasts when they're on sale and we keep them wrapped in small portions in our freezer for salads and casseroles and whatever. He puts *LOTS* of seasonings and pepper on the chicken breasts, so they added a lot of flavor to this casserole.  Also, he made the wild rice blend from scratch for a previous dinner, with lots of diced carrots and celery, onions sauteed in olive oil, parsley, pine nuts, chicken stock, etc., so that was another way that we added flavor to the dish.  (Uncle Ben's probably has a flavor packet too, so be sure to use that.)   In short, while the basic recipe produces an acceptable result, if you upgrade the individual components you can have an actual family favorite instead of just a reminder of why we cook differently today than we used to.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-05-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"motomom706"},"reviewBody":"1st time to try so i halved the recipe b\/c there's only 3 of us and i didn't want too many left overs.  my guys gobbled it up but said \"it's nothing special\". i liked it but thought it needed something else. i ate it w\/tortilla chips instead of using sliced almonds. i don't like pimientos but used them anyway - VERY GOOD FLAVORS, will try it again w\/some changes. i went easy on the mayo but added some sour cream (2 TBL) thanks for the recipe!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-01-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"HBcook"},"reviewBody":"This sounded so good but it was just okay.
