Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups long grain rice
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 -4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
parmesan cheese
sliced almonds
parsley

Steps:

  • Melt butter and add soups and milk. Reserve 1 C soup mixture. Add rice to remaining soup mixture. Pour into 9x13 baking dish. Cut chicken breasts into thirds and place on top of rice and soup. Pour remaining cup of soup over all. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, parsley and almonds on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Check after one hour and stir rice.
  • **Sometimes I like to make this with lower fat content. When I do I decrease the amount of rice by 1/2 C, eliminate 1 can of cream of chicken soup and add in the place 1 1/2 C chicken broth and leave out the butter and almonds. It is still very creamy and very tasty. I also use lowfat cream soups.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become dry and stringy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give the casserole a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli.
  • Season the casserole well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the casserole. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Top the casserole with toasted almonds: This will give the casserole a nice crunch and nutty flavor. You can also use other toppings, such as bread crumbs, grated cheese, or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Chicken rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
