Creamy, cheesy good. Good chicken and wild rice baked casserole to feed a crowd.
Ingredients
- 2 (6.1 ounce) boxes fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix
- 1 ¾ cups water
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 5 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 2 (8 ounce) cans sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup soft bread crumbs
- ¼ cup sliced toasted almonds
Directions
Step 1
Combine rice, contents of included seasoning packet, 1 3/4 cups water, and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low, and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Melt remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large baking dish with cooked rice. Add chicken, 3 cups Cheddar cheese, condensed soup, water chestnuts, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper and stir until well mixed. Top with bread crumbs.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese and almonds and continue to bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes longer.
