How Do You Make Chicken and Rice Casserole?

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.  In a medium sized bowl add the rice, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, and chicken broth and mix.  Pour into the baking pan.  
  • Place the chicken on top of the rice mixture and salt and pepper.  Sprinkle the onion soup on top.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked throughout and no longer pink.  No Peeking!

Do You Cook the Rice Before Adding it into the Casserole?

No, the rice will cook. Raw rice will definitely cook in an hour and the rice will absorb the liquid. Make sure you cover it to keep the steam inside the dish, no peeking!

Can You Use Brown Rice?

If you’re using brown rice, be prepared to cook your dish for more than an hour; this variety often takes longer than white rice, so watch the liquid level in your dish and make sure it’s soaking up as much as it needs.

Can This Chicken and Rice Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! This can be made up to 24 hours in advanced. Just cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake. You may need to add an additional few minutes or let rest for a few minutes outside of the refrigerator before baking it.

Can I Bake it With Frozen Chicken?

Yes! Frozen chicken breasts can also be used if they are the packaged frozen breasts purchased at the store that thaw quickly.

How Will I Know if My Chicken is Cooked?

The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. A meat or instant-read thermometer is your best bet for determining the temperature of your chicken, it should be inserted into the thickest part of the breast.

Can I Freeze Chicken and Rice Casserole?

If freezing, freeze the chicken and rice casserole before baking.  Cover the pan tightly with foil and write down the directions on top of the container.  Remove the casserole from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator during the day before baking.
