Chicken-and-Wild-Rice casserole is a classic comfort food recipe perfect for using up leftover cooked chicken. Try roasting a whole chicken on Sunday night, then make this casserole later in the week for a quick and easy dinner.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook rice mix according to package directions; set aside.
Step 2
Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute until tender. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add broth, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Step 3
Stir in rice, chicken, and next 6 ingredients. Spoon into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Top with almonds.
Step 4
Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Mine was a little soupy and onion-y; but I will definitely make it again but half the butter and try using 1 can of cream of mushroom soup instead of the chicken broth.

This is the best chicken and rice casserole I have ever had. I made it for a large group, and everyone really enjoyed it. I did follow the advice of another reader and reduced the butter to half a stick. I also prepared it the night before which worked out well. I will definitely make this again, and it will be one of my "go-to" recipes for company. (I omitted the mushrooms and water chestnuts.)
