Description

A comforting and simple casserole made with rotisserie chicken, three cream soups, and instant rice, perfect for family dinners and potlucks.


Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (about 4 cups cooked, chopped chicken)
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup, unsalted
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, unsalted
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups instant rice, uncooked
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken, pull the meat from the bones, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken with the three cream soups, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in the water and milk until well combined.
  4. Add the uncooked instant rice to the mixture and ensure it is evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese generously on top.
  6. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Optionally, broil for 1 to 2 minutes for an extra crispy topping.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider using unsalted or low-sodium cream soups for better control over sodium levels. Don’t skip the parmesan for a beautiful crust.
