Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mushroom soup, chicken broth, sherry, and dry onion soup mix seasoning until completely combined. Stir in diced uncooked chicken, uncooked rice, and uncooked orzo or vermicelli.
- Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, fluff with a fork, and cover again. Return covered dish to the oven for 20 more minutes.
- Remove the foil, stir the rice with a fork again, and then sprinkle the top of the dish with Parmesan and almonds.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for about 5-10 minutes, or just until almonds are toasted, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Fluff with a fork, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve.
Notes
- This recipe is specifically designed and tested with uncooked long grain white rice and orzo or vermicelli pasta. Do not substitute with brown rice, cauliflower rice, or instant rice — all of which require different amounts of liquid and different cooking times.
- Make sure to cover your dish tightly with foil so that none of the liquid or steam escapes during cooking. The rice and pasta need to absorb the liquid as they bake.
- The total cooking time will vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of pan that you use and your individual oven. Glass or ceramic baking dishes will take longer than metal pans, for instance. To know when your casserole is done, taste a bite of the rice. The rice should be tender and much of the liquid should be absorbed.
- Be careful not to overcook the casserole, or the rice and pasta will become mushy and gummy.
- Fluff the rice with a fork — do not stir with a big spoon, which can compact the grains and yield a dense texture.
