Add flour and mix well. Cook until slightly thickened.
Stir milk and stock into flour mixture. Turn heat to medium high and continue to whisk as mixture comes to a simmer.
Add rice and lower heat to medium low. Cook until the rice absorbs most of the liquid and is tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add chicken to the rice and sauce mixture.
Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 inch casserole.
