A month of recipes from others just would not be complete without one of mom’s! I’ve been making this dish ever since I first left the nest and it’s still one of our favorites. A blend of simple ingredients, this casserole is surprisingly tasty. Plus, it can go from a 45min casserole to a 10min meal if you use pre-cooked or left-over ingredients!

Total time
Author: ontheflyrecipes.com
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 cups rice
- 1 can cream of chicken and mushroom or cream of chicken and herb soup
- 1 cup water
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and boil the rice.
- Meanwhile, either grill or boil the chicken. Boiling is best for chicken that shreds easily, but takes longer (about 15minutes once boiling).
- Cut up the chicken and mix together with the rice, soup, water and a hefty dose of black pepper.
- Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and pour the mixture in.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.
Notes
If you want to add a bit more umph to this dish, you can add some veggies like onions and mushrooms or peas and carrots.
This also comes out quite nicely on the stove-top. Instead of baking, mix all of the ingredients together in a big bowl and stir for a few minutes until it reaches the consistency you prefer.
And, if you’re like me and stuck in a place where you have to travel for an hour and pay €3 for a can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken & Mushroom, you can easily whip up your own. Just substitute 1 cup of chicken broth for the water or dissolving a chicken stock/bullion cube in the cup of water. Then just mix it with a cup of typical mushroom soup.
