3 slices white bread, cubed
2 Tbs. melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.  Butter the inside of a casserole dish or baking dish.

Cook rice following package directions, adding the 2 chicken bouillon cubes in the water to dissolve before you add the rice to cook.

In a 3-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Saute the onion until tender. 

Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. .

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly so it does not lump.   Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens.  Cook an additional 2 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and pimento.  Stir until cheese melts. 

Mix in the chicken and rice.

Transfer the mixture into a casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.

In a medium bowl, toss the bread cubes and melted butter together to coat.  Arrange the buttery bread cubes around the edge of the casserole.  

Bake for 20 minutes.
