Chicken, Spinach, and Orzo Casserole image

Deb is right. This recipe is very different from your average chicken casserole. The sauce and orzo are creamy. Spinach and sauteed mushrooms add a rich umami flavor. Serve this as a main or it could even be a side dish. It's a delicious dinner casserole.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken breasts (can use boneless or bone-in)
2/3 c orzo
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
10 oz chopped frozen spinach
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
1/2 c mayonnaise
2 tsp lemon juice (I have used fresh and bottled)
1/2 tsp seasoned pepper
3/4 c skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Boil chicken breasts, reserve broth. Chop chicken or shred, whichever you prefer. I tend to just chop.
  • 2. Cook orzo according to package directions using the chicken broth.
  • 3. Saute mushrooms until tender.
  • 4. Mix chicken, orzo, spinach (thawed and drained), mushrooms, soup, mayo, lemon juice, and pepper.
  • 5. Spoon into a greased 9 x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of canned soup, so I used homemade chicken broth instead. The casserole was still very good.

This casserole was delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The chicken was tender and juicy, the spinach was wilted and flavorful, and the orzo was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
