Chicken and Rice Casserole
Description
The recipe begins by cooking a flavored rice pilaf (such as Rice-A-Roni chicken and garlic) according to package instructions. Once cooked, it is combined with cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and shredded cooked chicken to create a creamy mixture. This mixture is spread evenly in a greased baking dish and baked.
After baking for 40 minutes, French fried onions are sprinkled on top and the casserole is returned to the oven to crisp the topping for 5 to 10 minutes. The onions brown and add texture contrast to the creamy filling below. The finished casserole is warm and hearty, with soft chicken and rice enveloped in a rich sauce.
This dish makes a practical comfort food that can serve multiple people and is suitable for potlucks or family dinners. The topping can be adjusted or omitted for dietary preferences.
