CHEESE SAUCE:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 stalks celery, finely diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 cups steamed white rice
16 ounces prepared wild rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 Cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil into a medium dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Saute onion, celery and carrots until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken, both rices, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Reduce heat to low. To prepare cheese sauce melt butter into a medium saucepan over medium high heat.

Pour cheese sauce into rice mixture then transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with additional cheddar cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted through. Serve and enjoy.

I followed the recipe exactly but my casserole turned out dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the cheese sauce was creamy and cheesy.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it was still delicious.
