Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Place diced carrots in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; poke holes in wrap to vent. Microwave on High for 1 minute. Drain. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, uncooked wild rice mix (including the seasoning packet), microwaved carrots, chopped mushrooms, diced onion, peas, and chopped spinach. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Stir in the chicken broth and condensed cream of mushroom soup until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

06

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 45 minutes. (45 minutes)

07

Step
45 mins

Remove the foil and continue baking until the casserole is hot and bubbling, approximately 45 more minutes. (45 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

09

Step
10 mins

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and roast them before shredding.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or zucchini.
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can make a quick roux with butter and flour, then add milk and sautéed mushrooms.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

    Next time, I'll try using brown rice instead of wild rice.
