Chicken and Rice Casserole

This meal is such a go-to classic in my house!

It's so easy and inexpensive, it's one thing I have on my ever ready list of "help" meals. A "help" meal is one you make another family for whatever reason. Death, sickness, new to the neighborhood, any reason you are bringing a meal. Chicken and rice, even the fussiest eaters will like it.

This is also something I put together two batches at a time. Make one, and freeze the other one (uncooked) for another night.

I have also been known to mix frozen mixed veggies into the rice mixture.

Chicken and Rice Casserole

1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves


Directions:

  • Stir the soup, water, rice, paprika and black pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Top with the chicken. Season with additional paprika and black pepper. Cover the baking dish.
  • Bake at 375°F. for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.  Let stand for 10 minutes.  Stir the rice before serving.
