For a richer flavor, try using cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom. Adding a layer of sliced vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers under the chicken can add extra nutrients and flavor. To prevent the rice from drying out, ensure the casserole dish is tightly covered with foil during the initial baking period. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Apr 22, 2025I loved how simple this was to throw together on a busy weeknight. I used brown rice and it turned out great, although it needed a bit more cooking time.
