EASIEST CHICKEN RICE & VEGGIE CASSEROLE



Easiest Chicken Rice & Veggie Casserole image

Even though I can't eat chicken, this recipe is so ridiculously easy that sometimes I make it for my husband and daughter when I'm tired. It takes 10 minutes to throw together and has all the important food groups in it! If you use chicken thighs, its SUPER CHEAP too. Feel free to sub whatever "Cream of..." soup you like, we just happen to like mushrooms. Update: I think people were missing the part of the instructions that called for the 2 soup-can-fulls of water so I'm adding it into the recipe. This recipe is intentionally on the bland side, making it kid friendly or open to whatever spices and seasonings you prefer!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup long-grain rice, uncooked (regular or chicken flavoured)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 cups mixed vegetables, chopped (I use fresh broccoli and cauliflower)
1 cup chicken broth
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mozzarella cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Stir the rice, onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, chicken broth, tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar and worcestershire together in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper together then toss the chicken in that mixture (I put it in a large ziploc bag and shake it all together).
  • Place the seasoned chicken on the rice mixture and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake covered for 45 minutes.
  • Remove foil and sprinkle with shredded cheese, bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone and the cheese is bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: For a fluffy and flavorful casserole, use long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Before adding the rice to the casserole, cook it according to the package instructions. This will ensure that the rice is tender and fully cooked.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your casserole the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the vegetables until they are just tender-crisp.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the casserole together. Use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of and that complements the other ingredients in the casserole.
  • Add some protein: If you want to add some protein to your casserole, you can add cooked chicken, tofu, or beans.
  • Top it off with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for casseroles. It adds a delicious flavor and a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and hot: The casserole is done baking when it is bubbly around the edges and the center is hot and cooked through.

Conclusion:

Veggie chicken rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a veggie chicken rice casserole that your whole family will love.
