EASY CHICKEN PILAF CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Pilaf Casserole image

This wonderful chicken/rice casserole is a favorite in our house, and it is often requested for supper (Tip: any left over cooked chicken (or cooked turkey, I always freeze a whole cooked turkey breast)... just freeze and use in recipes that call for cooked chicken, that way you will always have it on hand, and ready to use). Also, this recipe is great made with cooked turkey instead of chicken. Prep time does not include cooking the rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your chicken pilaf pie. Use fresh, flavorful chicken and vegetables, and a good quality rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of the pie.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving: This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice and serve.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken pilaf pie is a great main course, but it can also be served with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken pilaf pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give chicken pilaf pie a try!
