Ingredients

  • 1 Sweet Bell Pepper any color, finely diced
  • 1 cup finely diced sweet onion
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked regular white rice
  • 1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup (NOT diluted)
  • 1 10.5 ounce can cream of celery soup (NOT diluted)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb. thin-sliced chicken breasts or chicken breast tenders diced into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onion additional diced red pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl), stir together bell pepper, onion, uncooked rice, chicken soup, celery soup, water, and uncooked chicken.
  3. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour (or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through).
  4. Remove cover, stir, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onion and diced red pepper just before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking Just for Two? This is an easy dish to cut in half! Just use half as much rice, chicken, and other ingredients, and pick 1 can of soup to use. Prepare the casserole in a small baking dish (about 1 quart). Cooking time will remain the same.
