How To Make Campbell’s Chicken and Rice Casserole?
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. We’ll start by seasoning the chicken. You can use your favorite spices. I used mustard powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remember to season the chicken breasts on both sides.
- In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup and water until well combined. Add the frozen veggies and rice and mix well.
- Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and pour the rice mixture evenly into it.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken breasts 5 minutes before the cooking time is over to melt. Serve hot.
Can You Freeze Campbell’s Cheesy Chicken and Rice?
Yes, you can. Just make sure it has completely cooled down and wrap it twice in plastic wrap and then in foil. You want it to be well-covered so the rice won’t dry out. Freeze it for up to 4 months.
What To Serve with Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole?
I like to serve it with a tomato, cucumber, red onion, and avocado salad, dressed with balsamic vinaigrette.
For dessert, my family loves apple crumble. It is very easy to make, and you can bake it at the same time.
Cooking Tips
- Remember to season the chicken well. Add enough salt, pepper, and spices so that it turns out flavorful. Since you are not browning the chicken, you need to add enough flavor.
- When pouring the rice mixture into the baking dish, use a fork to distribute all the ingredients evenly throughout the casserole.
- Check the rice for doneness before taking the casserole out of the oven.
