A lot of wild rice is grown in our state, and every fall I drive up north to buy some from roadside stands. It always tastes so much better than the commercial brands in the store. This recipe is actually a combination of two recipes I received from friends. I've had many requests for it.

EASY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE HOT DISH



Easy Chicken and Wild Rice Hot Dish image

The original recipe was prepared by Amy Thielen, in the October issue of Food Network magazine. I have substituted some ingredients due to unavailability and high cost. Green onions for leeks, evaporated milk and water for whole milk, sour cream for fresh cream and Rice a Roni Long Grain & Wild Rice for natural wild rice. This substitution saves time.

Categories     Rice Sides

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 batch of my homemade cream of mushroom soup...or...1 family size can of cream of mushroom soup plus 3/4 can milk
2-3 chicken breast cut into bite size pieces, sauted and seasoned with salt, pepper and minced garlic
2 c prepared wild rice, cooked in water and chicken broth (half and half) seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of thyme before cooking
2 c prepared white rice, cooked in water and chicken broth (half and half) seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon of rosemary before cooking
2 can(s) cut green beans, whichever cut you prefer, drained
1-2 c cheddar or your favorite cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the homemade cream of mushroom soup. OR Whisk together the canned soup with 3/4 soup can of milk very well. Set aside.
  • 2. Spray a 9x13 pan, dump the beans into the pan, sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper, if desired. Scatter prepared chicken over the green beans, then sprinkle 1/2-1c cheese over the chicken, combine the two rices and spoon over the cheese, then pour soup over rice, sprinkle remaining cheese over top. It will seem very soupy, it will come together very nicely. :) Just look at my photo :o) Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10-15 min.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of wild rice, brown rice, and white rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your hotdish. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your hotdish, such as cooked meat, poultry, or sausage.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rice or a rice cooker.
  • Hotdish can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it.
  • Serve hotdish with a side of cranberry sauce or applesauce.
