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     Casseroles

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 pieces of chicken (the part of the chicken you like best)
8 c minute rice cooked
1 medium onion chopped fine
3 chicken bouillon cubes
3 Tbsp parsley
1 can(s) (small) mushrooms drained and rinsed(optional)
2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and pat dry your chicken.Cook your rice as directed w/the bouillon cubes, as soon as it is done add onion,parsley,an mushrooms.Mix soup,mayonnaise,and milk in mixing bowl.Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray (if pan isn't big enough it will go over the sides).Pour in your rice mixture into baking pan,put chicken pieces on top of rice skin side up,spoon soup mixture over chicken,use it all.Make sure you cover all the rice. Cook on 375 for 1 hour or until chicken is done. If it starts to get to brown on top,tent a piece of tin foil over it.I serve it with peas,candied carrots and rolls.

Tips:

  • It is important to cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the casserole. This will help to ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and that the casserole is cooked evenly.
  • If you are using a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin and bones before adding it to the casserole. This will help to reduce the amount of fat and calories in the dish.
  • You can use any type of rice that you like in this casserole. However, long-grain rice is a good option because it cooks evenly and does not get mushy.
  • Be sure to use a casserole dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients. A 9x13 inch casserole dish is a good size.
  • Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil before baking. This will help to keep the casserole moist and prevent the top from getting too brown.
  • Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is heated through.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned chicken and rice casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the whole family. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own liking.
