Is there anything more comforting than a chicken & rice casserole? Honestly, we don't think so. Hearty and filling, it's the type of recipe we turn to time and time again during the fall and winter (and all year-round tbh), just like our roast chicken or tortellini soup. The best part? Everything is ready at the same time in this recipe, so you can toss it all in the dish (yes, one dish) for dinner ready in under two hours. Because everything cooks together, you'll also get the most flavorful rice without any stress of cooking it on the stove. Here's why this is the casserole of our dreams: Show 1. It's toss and go! This is a literal dump 'n bake recipe: You put the uncooked rice and onion, broth, and cream of mushroom soup into a casserole dish and then top with the chicken thighs. Like magic, everything is ready at the same time — no turning on the stove required! 2. It only dirties ONE dish. Seriously, how could you go back to a normal recipe after this? By layering ingredients in the baking dish, you won't have to bust out any extra skillet or bowl, which makes this casserole perfect for a lazy Tuesday when calling up pizza delivery is all too tempting. 3. It's totally versatile. This dish is completely customizable, and a great base for any substitutions or additions your heart desires. If you'd rather sub in chicken breasts, you totally can — we just love thighs for their flavor and crispy skin. Throw in some frozen veggies (broccoli is a delicious choice), or sprinkle on some cheddar towards the end of cooking to make this creamy casserole a cheesy dream. Made this?

Made with only 4 ingredients, this dish has juicy chicken breasts and tender rice in a deliciously creamy sauce. This is a casserole that meal packs a lot of flavor in a filling one dish dinner and a meal that everyone will love! Enjoy! There is nothing like Chicken Rice Casserole for dinner. This dish is deliciously easy, creamy and totally satisfying and you’ll never believe it needs just 4 ingredients! This is a special dish because the recipe comes from my BFF, Penny and she’s been making this for years. It’s her go-to, must have, favorite easy weeknight meal that I just had to try. I have to admit, when I first made it I knew it would be tasty but… I had NO idea what I was in for and it’d definitely become a regular in our rotation! This easy dish comes together in under 5 minutes, it’s one of the quickest dinner preps on my whole site (along with One Pot Pizza Tortellini Bake). This dish is belly warming and comforting while being simple and easy to make, it’s like serving a nice warm hug from your Mom! The chicken comes out incredibly tender and juicy, the rice is perfectly cooked in a rich and creamy sauce and the whole thing is loaded with flavor! This easy Chicken Rice Casserole takes about an hour to bake (depending on your oven, you may need a few extra minutes but for me it’s about an hour), but that is one of the things that make it kind of the perfect dish. We’ve made this just as written over and over but I’ve also added a little bit of onion to the bottom of the
pan or a couple of handfuls of fresh mushrooms. 5 minutes of work, and then perhaps a glass of wine or read your book for an hour? I feel like that’s a good idea for ALL weeknights! I use homemade onion soup mix in this recipe, but you can use the kind in the envelope if you haven’t had a chance to mix up a batch yet. The flavor will be amazing either way! My friend Penny also said she sometimes replaces the onion soup mix with a packet of gravy mix depending on what she has on hand! If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, this makes for a delicious lunch the following day. 4.88 from 1349 votes↑ Click stars to rate now! 4 Ingredient Chicken & Rice CasseroleChicken Rice Casserole makes for a crowd-pleasing dinner that comes together in under 5 minutes of prep time.
