Homey Chicken and Rice Casserole image

This tasty and comforting dish is a cinch to throw together, and you'd never suspect that the creaminess comes from reduced-fat ingredients. It lends itself to substitution, so if you're not a fan of certain tastes, you can easily switch to another variety of cream soup and/or use other veggies. I recommend using rotisserie chicken for added convenience.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup rice
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups sliced white mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 (10.75 ounce) can fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 cup light sour cream
½ cup milk
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup crushed garlic-and-butter flavor croutons

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Bring rice and 1 1/4 cup chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion in hot oil until mushrooms are soft and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chicken, chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup chicken broth, seasoned salt, and black pepper into the mushroom mixture. Reduce heat to low. Add cooked rice to the saucepan; stir until rice is evenly mixed in. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese and crushed croutons; bake until top begins to brown, about another 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out nothing like the picture. It was a gooey mess.

This recipe was a total disaster. The casserole was dry and burnt.
