Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups chicken, cooked, cut in small bite-sized pieces
4 cups pasta, cooked and drained (approximately 2 cups uncooked); penne, cavatappi, or rigatoni works well
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced

Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute, this will allow the flour to cook just a little before adding the other ingredients. Add the sour cream and milk, and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add all but ½ cup of the cheese. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta. Stir together, then layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Diced the chicken breasts, cook the rice, and chop the vegetables before starting the casserole. This will save time and ensure that all the ingredients are cooked evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the chicken and rice plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Use a creamy soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup adds a rich, creamy flavor to the casserole. You can also use a low-sodium broth if you prefer.
  • Add some vegetables: Frozen peas and carrots are a classic addition to chicken and rice casserole, but you can also use other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: A layer of shredded cheese on top of the casserole will give it a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot: This will take about 30 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven.

Paula Deen's chicken rice casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
