Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 long grain and wild rice with herbs Uncle Ben’s brand; 6 ounce box; not cooked
  • 1 condensed cream of mushroom soup not diluted; reduced sodium Healthy Request version preferred
  • 1 condensed cream of celery soup not diluted; reduced sodium Healthy Request version preferred
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 onion soup mix Lipton brand; 1 ounce packet
  • 4-8 chicken pieces bone-in; skin removed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In the prepared baking dish (or in a separate bowl), whisk together uncooked rice (and the seasoning from the box), cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and water.
  3. Place raw chicken (skin removed) on top of rice mixture. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken.
  4. Cover tightly with foil and bake for at least 90 minutes (or up to 2 hours), until rice is tender and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The total cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken. I baked these extra large chicken breasts and thighs for the full 2 hours and they turned out perfectly. A meat thermometer is really the best way to tell when your chicken is done.
  5. When the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, fluff the rice with a fork and serve!

Notes

  • *I used 2 very large bone-in chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs. each), as well as 2 bone-in chicken thighs (about ½ lb. each).
  • You want the chicken meat to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. That's how you know it's done! My meat thermometer is my best friend in the kitchen -- just make sure that the thermometer is not touching the chicken bone when you check the temp.
  • What to Serve with Chicken Wild Rice Casserole:
  • I keep it easy and pair my casserole with simple sides, such as:
  • Steamed broccoli or Garlic Roasted Broccoli
  • Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans
  • Brown Sugar Roasted Acorn Squash; or
  • 3-Ingredient Cranberry Orange Sauce
