Chicken and Rice Casserole

Dive into the creamy, savory layers of this casserole, where each spoonful offers a delightful mix of tender chicken and perfectly cooked rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and diced onion. Stir the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Season the chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and ensure even cooking.
