Creamy Chicken Casserole

Jul 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Creamy Chicken Casserole takes only 10 minutes of active time to create tender chicken with creamy rice and vegetables.

PIN THIS recipe to read later!

I love this Creamy Chicken Casserole for a busy weeknight dinner because it takes only 10 minutes of my attention.  Plus, frozen chicken CAN be used.  You’ll need to add 10-15 minutes to the cooking time.  Be sure to temp the chicken before removing from the oven.  Cooked chicken should have an internal temperature of 165F.  

The other cool hack for this Creamy Chicken Casserole recipe is that it can be a freezer meal!  Simply follow the recipe and cook up the casserole.  Then cut up the chicken into 1” pieces and stir it back into the rice and vegetables.  Scoop all that creamy goodness into a freezer safe container and freeze.  Just heat and serve any night of the week as Chicken and Rice Bowls!  Top with a few fried onions when serving to add a bit of crunch.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 1 Hour, 20 Minutes Serves: 8

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons Oil

  • 2 Cups Water
  • 8 Chicken Cutlets or Breasts
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 8 ounces frozen Peas (about 2 Cups)
  • 8 ounces sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 quart Creamy Potato Soup puree
  • Fried Onions (optional)

Instructions:  

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Drizzle Oil on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.  
  2. Pour Rice into the pan, then add the Water.  Stir and smooth into an even layer.
  3. Lay Chicken Cutlets on top of the rice in a single layer.  Sprinkle the chicken with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper.
  4. Top the casserole evenly with the Peas followed by the Mushrooms.  Cover completely with the Potato Soup.
  5. Cover and Bake for 1 Hour, 20 Minutes. 
  6. Remove Chicken and Stir together the rice, vegetables and sauce in the pan.  Serve the tender chicken alongside the creamy rice and vegetables. If using, sprinkle fried onions over the top.
