MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup rice (cooked in 2 cups salted water, according to directions)
1/4 cup dried chopped onion
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 (8 ounce) jar Cheez Whiz
1 (12 ounce) package frozen broccoli, cooked
2 cups canned chicken

Steps:

  • This is a great use for leftover rice.
  • Optional: Sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash on the top for added flavor.
  • Try different veggies, or add things like mushrooms, etc. for a different twist.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken for the best flavor. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work well.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still juicy. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165 degrees F.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, broccoli, and potatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme are all good choices. You can also add a splash of white wine or chicken broth for extra flavor.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Chicken Rice Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful rice, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
