Print Recipe

A hearty casserole combining savory chicken and wild rice with creamy mushroom soup and cheese, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
  • 1 cup wild rice blend
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (low-sodium)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 cup carrots (chopped)
  • 1 cup celery (chopped)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté chopped onions, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add diced chicken, dried thyme, and dried parsley to the skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink (about 7-10 minutes).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with uncooked wild rice, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and cover with foil.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  7. Remove the foil, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite spices before cooking. Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or nuts for texture.
