Pioneer Woman Chicken Rice Casserole is a creamy, comforting one-dish meal combining tender shredded chicken, tender rice, and a mix of savory soups and seasonings. Baked to bubbly perfection and topped with melted cheddar cheese, this casserole is perfect for an easy family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Rice

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice

Wet Ingredients and Seasonings

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, uncooked long-grain rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until everything is well blended.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the mixed ingredients evenly into the dish.
  4. Bake Covered: Cover the dish tightly with foil to keep moisture in. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing the rice to cook and absorb the flavorful liquids.
  5. Add Cheese and Continue Baking: Remove the foil carefully, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  6. Rest: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken like rotisserie chicken or leftover baked chicken for convenience.
  • Foil covering helps steam the rice and keeps the casserole moist during baking.
  • You can substitute long-grain rice with jasmine or basmati rice, but cooking time may vary slightly.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk, but 2% milk works well too.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
