Two 6-ounce boxes long-grain and wild rice mix, such as Uncle Ben's

16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced, or two 4 1/2-ounce cans sliced mushrooms, drained (reserve the liquid)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups half-and-half
4 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, diced
1 cup toasted slivered almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sliced pimientos

CHICKEN AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4/5)



Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (7 oz) boxes Long Grain and Wild Rice mix (I used Zatarain's*)
1 (10 1/2 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (I used 98% F.F.)
1 (10 1/2 oz) can cream of celery soup (I used 98% F.F.)
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Paprika
6 medium, skinless bone-in chicken thighs (can use skinless boneless chicken breasts halves)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together both cans of soup, water, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in both boxes of rice* (see Note below first). Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan. Arrange chicken pieces on top then lightly sprinkle just the chicken pieces with paprika. Cover and seal pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake undisturbed for 2 1/2 hours. (Don't open the oven door or remove the foil during baking time). If desired, after it has finished cooking, remove foil and oven broil for 1-2 minutes just to add a little color to the top of the chicken. NOTE: *Zatarain's wild rice mix is a well seasoned product with the seasonings mixed in with the rice. (Some products may have a separate seasoning packet.) I was a bit concerned about the dish being over-seasoned with the cans of soup, so when I poured the rice into the bowl on top of the soup mixture, I removed 2 or 3 "clumps" of the seasoning before stirring it into the soup mixture. Worked out very well.

Tips:

  • Serve the casserole with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
