Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4 pound) bone-in chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, quartered
2 stalks celery
2 bay leaves
⅓ cup butter
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken stock
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 cup cooked white rice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot, boil the chicken with the onion, celery and bay leaves until done. Let chicken cool until you can handle it. Remove chicken meat from the bones and cut into small pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly stir in the cold milk and chicken stock; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in the cheese.
  • Stir the cooked chicken, rice, and mushrooms into the cheese sauce and season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until mixture is hot and bubbly and beginning to brown on top, about 30 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken and rice casseroles, but this one was actually really good. The chicken was tender and the rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This casserole is a great comfort food. It's warm and filling and perfect for a cold night. I like to add some shredded cheese to the top of the casserole before baking it. It gives it a nice golden brown crust.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out great! I cooked it on low for 6 hours and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings and it was much better. I also added some chopped broccoli and it gave the casserole a nice crunch.
