Ingredients

  • 6 oz box Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup* 1 can
  • 2 cups cooked chicken cubed, or any other meat

  • pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cook box of rice according to packaged directions.
  3. In skillet, melt butter and saute onion and celery over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Once cooked, add rice and cooked onion and celery into large bowl. Add cream of chicken soup, diced chicken, vegetables, heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Spread into a casserole dish. (9x9 glass dish is fine too.)
  5. Top with cheese. Cover with foil and warm thoroughly for at least 20 minutes (and up to 60). Serve warm.

Notes

  • *I use cream of chicken condensed soup but a cream of mushroom of cream of celery soup would work too. As long as you like the flavor of the soup you're using, it should work just fine.
