Ingredients
- 2 packages wild rice blend 4 ounces each
- ½ cup diced onion
- 6 ounces brown or Cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded or cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided into 1-cup and ½ cup portions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and cook the diced onions and sliced mushrooms until they become slightly soft.
- In a medium saucepan, prepare the uncooked wild rice according to the package instructions.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice and shredded chicken, and then add cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Italian seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and chicken broth. Mix everything really well.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a large casserole dish, and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. Bake the casserole in a 375°F oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
- Allow the wild rice chicken casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Optionally, garnish the creamy casserole with chopped fresh parsley. Serve alongside fresh vegetables like green beans for a complete meal.

Notes
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the wild rice chicken casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Using Aluminum Foil: Covering the casserole with aluminum foil during part of the baking time is optional. We sometimes do it to prevent the top from getting too browned.
- Don't Skip Sautéing: Sautéing the onions and mushrooms beforehand can enhance their flavor and soften their texture.
