BEST EVER CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

BEST EVER Chicken and Rice Casserole is a classic one pan meal full of tender chicken and creamy rice, all baked together to perfection! This hearty dish requires only a few simple ingredients!

In my family, casseroles are a big hit! From my Chicken Parmesan Casserole, to my Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and now this tasty dish….my family loves them all!

Last week, I was in one of those moods where I knew I had to make dinner, had the time to prepare dinner, but lacked motivation. I call it a “lazy moment”. I had thawed some already cooked chicken from my freezer, but didn’t know what I planned to do with it.

After taking a look through my pantry, browsing Pinterest (I can get lost on that site), and using some brainstorming….this casserole came about and I sure am glad it did!

I was able to have it prepped in under ten minutes. I simply tossed in the oven, roasted some veggies while it cooked, and once done….dinner was on the table!

The chicken was tender and flavorful, the rice was cooked perfectly, and when combined….it was a hearty comfort food dish the entire family enjoyed!

This makes a 9×13 baking pan, so plenty for leftovers….which are just as good reheated!
