Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken and Rice Casserole Recipe
This is a no-peek chicken and rice casserole. The uncooked rice, chicken, and cheddar bacon ranch seasonings all get cooked together in a baking dish.
Ingredients
- 4 (8 oz.) chicken breast boneless, skinless, about 2 pounds total
- 10.5 oz. cheddar cheese soup condensed, canned
- 1 oz. ranch salad dressing mix dry, packet
- 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup Bacon cooked, bits or crumbled pieces
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken in the baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, add the soup and ranch seasoning. Whisk until well combined. Add the rice and water to the bowl. Whisk until the soup is dissolved in the water.
- Pour the rice mixture evenly in the dish over the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle the bacon bits evenly over the chicken and rice. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Make sure the foil is sealed around the edges to trap in the steam and cook the rice.
- Cook for an hour and 15 minutes.
Notes
- Make sure the aluminum foil forms a seal around the baking dish to trap in the steam. If the steam escapes, the rice will not cook properly.
