EASY FLUFFY RICE AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Easy Fluffy Rice and Chicken Casserole image

I've been making this recipe for years, and decided to post it here for safe keeping, because the recipe card is getting very tattered. It's one of a series of recipe cards I would get in the mail from General Mills, many years ago. I usually used chicken thighs ( I prefer the dark meat) but would have to extend the cooking time by about 15 minutes or so. My family loved it and I still make it on occassion.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 boneless skinless chicken strips, uncooked
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup (large can)
3 c uncooked rice
3 c water
2 c cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Organic chicken, jasmine rice, and fresh vegetables will make a big difference in the final dish.

  • Add vegetables to the casserole for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and broccoli.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor.
  • Bake the casserole until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
