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.

Purim is coming up in a few weeks.  The holiday is certainly going to look different this year.  Purim is the last holiday we celebrated pre-pandemic.  There were parties, catching up with neighbors, costumes, visitors and as always...so...much...nosh.  If you don't know, Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrated with costumes, noise, and giving food to others.  We always deliver a number of beautiful baskets of goodies to friends and neighbors.  We often get invited in to chat and catch up.  It's an extremely social holiday.  I feel like this year, we'll be playing ding-dong-ditch.  Set the basket by the door, ring, run 6 feet away.  Whatever it will be, we will definitely be making all of our favorite triangle-shaped foods (another symbol of the holiday). These were one of my first blog recipes, and they are as popular as ever for their taste and uniqueness.  I hope you enjoy these Crispy Fish Wontons.  Whatever you are making, have a safe holiday b'simcha! (with joy). https://candidlydelicious.com/crispy-fish-wontons/ .⁠
