CREAMY CHICKEN & RICE CASSEROLE
This nostalgic dish is reminiscent of the old school casseroles your grandmother used to make, but in easy mode to make it fast, delicious, and perfect for a weekday night. Roasted chicken and pre-cooked rice (or leftover rice) are combined with easy-to-prepare vegetables cooked in a thick flour broth with a little sour cream added for smoothness.
Ingredients :
- 1 box Chicken-flavor Rice-A-Roni (6 Ounce Box)
- 1 can Cream Of Mushroom Soup (10 Ounce Can)
- 1 container Sour Cream (8 Ounce Size)
- 1 whole Rotisserie Chicken
- 1 container French-fried Onions (6 Ounce Can)
HOW TO MAKE IT :
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare Rice-A-Roni according to package directions. While that is cooking, shred/cut up the chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken, but you could use leftover chicken or some cooked and shredded breasts, whatever), removing meat from bones.
- When Rice-A-Roni is done, add the can of soup and the sour cream, and stir to combine. Add the chicken and mix together. Spread mixture into a sprayed baking dish (9-by-13-inch pan), but you can use what you like for how thick you want it to be) and bake, uncovered, at 350 F for 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cover with the french-friend onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Remove from oven and try not to eat the whole thing.
