Chicken and Wild Rice with Smoked Sausage

I made this again last night. It's wonderful comfort food. This is one where I have not really changed the recipe at all! I used not Uncle Ben's but a different brand of white and wild rice mix. No seasoning packets came with mine. Very good casserole type thing but made in a pot (not baked). The only thing I'd say is this is really more like 4 servings if that's all your having and you're hungry.
