Description
A simple recipe for a comforting casserole made with chicken and wild rice in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup uncooked wild rice blend
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the wild rice according to package directions using the chicken broth instead of water, if possible. Drain any excess liquid.
- While the rice cooks, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, cooked vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, and shredded chicken. Mix well.
- Stir in the frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables for the peas if you prefer.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
- If you do not have cooked chicken, you can cook 1 pound of chicken breast and shred it before starting the recipe.
