EASIEST CHICKEN RICE & VEGGIE CASSEROLE



Easiest Chicken Rice & Veggie Casserole image

Even though I can't eat chicken, this recipe is so ridiculously easy that sometimes I make it for my husband and daughter when I'm tired. It takes 10 minutes to throw together and has all the important food groups in it! If you use chicken thighs, its SUPER CHEAP too. Feel free to sub whatever "Cream of..." soup you like, we just happen to like mushrooms. Update: I think people were missing the part of the instructions that called for the 2 soup-can-fulls of water so I'm adding it into the recipe. This recipe is intentionally on the bland side, making it kid friendly or open to whatever spices and seasonings you prefer!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup long-grain rice, uncooked (regular or chicken flavoured)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 cups mixed vegetables, chopped (I use fresh broccoli and cauliflower)
1 cup chicken broth
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mozzarella cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Stir the rice, onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, chicken broth, tomato soup, brown sugar, vinegar and worcestershire together in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper together then toss the chicken in that mixture (I put it in a large ziploc bag and shake it all together).
  • Place the seasoned chicken on the rice mixture and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake covered for 45 minutes.
  • Remove foil and sprinkle with shredded cheese, bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone and the cheese is bubbly.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture, use a combination of long-grain and short-grain rice. Long-grain rice provides a fluffy texture, while short-grain rice adds chewiness.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water instead. However, vegetable broth will add more flavor to the casserole.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots. You can also add a protein source, such as tofu or beans.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some bread crumbs or crushed crackers on top of the casserole before baking.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Veggie chicken rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with vegetables, protein, and flavor, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
