A delicious chicken dish that is cheesy and nutty and GOOOOOD!!

Provided by Linda Rutkowski

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups ranch dressing
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup slivered almonds
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed potato chips, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spread bread crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. Press chicken breast halves into bread crumbs to coat. Gently pat chicken to let any loose crumbs fall away. Place coated breasts onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil to brown completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread rice into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange browned chicken breasts atop the rice.
  • Mix ranch dressing, celery soup, mozzarella cheese, and almonds together in a bowl; pour over the chicken and rice, assuring the chicken is covered completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the ranch dressing mixture and top with crushed potato chips.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

ALMOND CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Almond Chicken and Rice Casserole image

This is a recipe that has been in my family for many years. It is counted as a favorite with my husband and kids. Very quick and easy prep.

Provided by Rooster_814

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups long grain rice
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 -4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
parmesan cheese
sliced almonds
parsley

Steps:

  • Melt butter and add soups and milk. Reserve 1 C soup mixture. Add rice to remaining soup mixture. Pour into 9x13 baking dish. Cut chicken breasts into thirds and place on top of rice and soup. Pour remaining cup of soup over all. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, parsley and almonds on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Check after one hour and stir rice.
  • **Sometimes I like to make this with lower fat content. When I do I decrease the amount of rice by 1/2 C, eliminate 1 can of cream of chicken soup and add in the place 1 1/2 C chicken broth and leave out the butter and almonds. It is still very creamy and very tasty. I also use lowfat cream soups.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Almond Chicken Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat later. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Almond Chicken Casserole a try.
