Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups water, divided
1 cup uncooked white rice
½ cup uncooked wild rice
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, chopped
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup crushed saltine crackers, or more as needed
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring 2 cups water and white rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • At the same time, bring remaining 1 cup water and wild rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and saute until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside in a large bowl and stir in diced chicken, pecans, and sunflower seeds. Stir in cooked rice. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a casserole dish. Spread crushed saltine crackers over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Spread Cheddar cheese over the casserole and return to the oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breast. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this casserole. They are easy to cook and shred, and they will not dry out in the oven.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and celery, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. The best way to check if the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a creamy sauce. The creamy sauce in this recipe helps to keep the chicken and vegetables moist and flavorful. You can use any type of cream you like, such as heavy cream, sour cream, or Greek yogurt.
  • Top it with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for chicken casserole. It adds a delicious, cheesy flavor and helps to hold the casserole together.

Conclusion:

Chicken breast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken breast casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
