Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups boiling water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced onion
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup diced cooked chicken
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 (3 ounce) can French-fried onions

Steps:

  • Bring water, rice, and chicken bouillon to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini, celery, and onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic, water chestnuts, chicken, mayonnaise, and lemon juice into vegetable mixture. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Spread French-fried onions over rice mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with leftover chicken, but this casserole is a perfect solution.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken. I'll try it again and see if I can get it right.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found that the zucchini was a bit too soft for my liking.
