A comforting and creamy chicken and rice casserole made with shredded chicken, a mix of soups, onion soup mix, and sour cream, baked to perfection for a hearty and easy family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2–3 cups cooked/shredded chicken (or diced cooked chicken)
  • 1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups minute rice (uncooked)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, water, uncooked minute rice, and salt and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  3. Prepare baking dish: Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble casserole: Pour the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Cover pan: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in while baking.
  6. Bake covered: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, allowing the rice to cook and flavors to meld.
  7. Remove foil and finish baking: Take off the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top slightly and thicken the casserole.
  8. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy a comforting meal!

Notes

  • You can use either shredded or diced cooked chicken based on preference.
  • Minute rice allows for quicker cooking and a creamy texture.
  • Covering with foil during baking helps cook the rice evenly and keeps the dish moist.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like peas or carrots for extra nutrition and color.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 3 days.
