Homey Chicken and Rice Casserole

Homey Chicken and Rice Casserole

This tasty and comforting dish is a cinch to throw together, and you’d never suspect that the creaminess comes from reduced-fat ingredients. It lends itself to substitution, so if you’re not a fan of certain tastes, you can easily switch to another variety of cream soup and/or use other veggies. I recommend using rotisserie chicken for added convenience.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced white mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can fat-free cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup crushed garlic-and-butter flavor croutons
  • ½ cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

Step 2
Bring rice and 1 1/4 cup chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion in hot oil until mushrooms are soft and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chicken, chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup chicken broth, seasoned salt, and black pepper into the mushroom mixture. Reduce heat to low. Add cooked rice to the saucepan; stir until rice is evenly mixed in. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese and crushed croutons; bake until top begins to brown, about another 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
