This is my 'go-to' meal. I almost always take this to families that have just had a baby.
My kids LOVE it!

4 C. hot cooked rice
1/2 C. butter or margarine, divided
1/4 C. flour
2 C. milk
2 t. chicken boullion granules (or 2 cubes, crushed)

1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. pepper
4-5 C. cubed, cooked chicken
2 C. shredded cheese
1 C. sour cream
1 tube of ritz crackers, crushed

Spread rice into greased 9X13 pan. Set aside. In saucepan, melt 1/4 C. butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, boullion, seasoned salt, garlic powder, & pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook & stir for 2 minutes until thick and bubbly. Reduce heat. Add chicken, cheese & sour cream. Stir until melted. Pour over rice. Melt remaining butter and toss with cracker crumbs.
