I found this recipe several years ago while looking for something unusual but simple I could prepare for company. I could prepare for company. It's a dish that I've served many times since then-with a salad and rolls, it makes a complete meal. My husband and I both grew up in the country. We're living in a suburb of a big city now, but we hope to move to a rural area. Meanwhile, two small children, home improvement projects, sewing and needlework keep me busy.

CHICKEN AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4/5)



Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (7 oz) boxes Long Grain and Wild Rice mix (I used Zatarain's*)
1 (10 1/2 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (I used 98% F.F.)
1 (10 1/2 oz) can cream of celery soup (I used 98% F.F.)
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Paprika
6 medium, skinless bone-in chicken thighs (can use skinless boneless chicken breasts halves)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together both cans of soup, water, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in both boxes of rice* (see Note below first). Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan. Arrange chicken pieces on top then lightly sprinkle just the chicken pieces with paprika. Cover and seal pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake undisturbed for 2 1/2 hours. (Don't open the oven door or remove the foil during baking time). If desired, after it has finished cooking, remove foil and oven broil for 1-2 minutes just to add a little color to the top of the chicken. NOTE: *Zatarain's wild rice mix is a well seasoned product with the seasonings mixed in with the rice. (Some products may have a separate seasoning packet.) I was a bit concerned about the dish being over-seasoned with the cans of soup, so when I poured the rice into the bowl on top of the soup mixture, I removed 2 or 3 "clumps" of the seasoning before stirring it into the soup mixture. Worked out very well.

FAVORITE CHICKEN AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE



Favorite Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole image

I found this in Southern Living several years ago and make it often, especially when bringing a meal to someone. It freezes well which is good since the recipe is much more than my family can eat. I usually make it either in 2 2qt baking dishes or 3 9x9 pans for freezing and add a little extra cheese on top. Light sour cream, lowfat milk and Healthy Request soup work well for a lower fat version.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality wild rice. Wild rice is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for wild rice that is plump and free of debris.
  • Rinse the wild rice before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
  • Cook the wild rice according to package directions. Wild rice typically takes about 45 minutes to cook.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a creamy sauce in your casserole. This will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a variety of sauces, such as a simple white sauce, a cheese sauce, or a cream of mushroom soup.
  • Top the casserole with a crunchy topping. This will add texture and flavor to the dish. Some good choices for toppings include breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Wild rice chicken casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of wild rice, chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
