Baked chicken legs with cream of mushroom soup and rice

Table of Contents Show

This recipe was one of the usuals at my house when I was little- Even so, we never got tired of it! It is a super easy recipe, and you can play around with it: For the soup, you can either use two cans of cream of mushroom, or one can each of cream of mushroom and cream of celery. For the chicken, you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts, or chicken legs. I truly hope you enjoy!

Is there anything more comforting than a chicken & rice casserole? Honestly, we don't think so. Hearty and filling, it's the type of recipe we turn to time and time again during the fall and winter (and all year-round tbh), just like our roast chicken or tortellini soup. The best part? Everything is ready at the same time in this recipe, so you can toss it all in the dish (yes, one dish) for dinner ready in under two hours. Because everything cooks together, you'll also get the most flavorful rice without any stress of cooking it on the stove. Here's why this is the casserole of our dreams:

1. It's toss and go! This is a literal dump 'n bake recipe: You put the uncooked rice and onion, broth, and cream of mushroom soup into a casserole dish and then top with the chicken thighs. Like magic, everything is ready at the same time — no turning on the stove required!

2. It only dirties ONE dish. Seriously, how could you go back to a normal recipe after this? By layering ingredients in the baking dish, you won't have to bust out any extra skillet or bowl, which makes this casserole perfect for a lazy Tuesday when calling up pizza delivery is all too tempting.

3. It's totally versatile. This dish is completely customizable, and a great base for any substitutions or additions your heart desires. If you'd rather sub in chicken breasts, you totally can — we just love thighs for their flavor and crispy skin. Throw in some frozen veggies (broccoli is a delicious choice), or sprinkle on some cheddar towards the end of cooking to make this creamy casserole a cheesy dream.

Can you cook rice and raw chicken together?

Can You Cook Raw Chicken And Rice Together? Yes! Raw chicken and uncooked rice can be cooked together to make a perfect easy one pot meal. I prefer to at least sear the chicken in the pot first, because the browning adds so much flavor.

How do I make chicken and rice less boring?

Cook the rice in salted water. Salt and pepper on the chicken, bake in oven. Real food stops being bland and starts to become delicious when you slow down and take an effort to cook well and enjoy the process of cooking and eating.
