Rice and Chicken Casserole Recipes

Chicken casserole recipes are so easy to prepare, especially recipes like this one that incorporate soups as part of the sauce.

They are tasty, easy to put together and make great one pot meals. I love one pot cooking.

Chicken and Rice Casserole

Did You Know?…

One pot cooking is great when families are on the go, to be able to come home to a warm, home cooked meal that is delicious, but was also easy to prepare.

As with most of these chicken casserole recipes, the flavors of soup you use can vary. The ones suggested make a delicious casserole, but try some of your favorite cream soups.

If you don’t like cream of mushroom, try cream of asparagus, celery or broccoli soups. I have found that with most of these recipes, the taste is still great no matter which cream soup you use.

This is a great make ahead dish too. Put it together earlier in the day, or even the night before, and refrigerate it. Then just pop it into a hot oven and bake when you need it.
