This Cheesy Chicken and Rice is fabulous. With chicken, white rice, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese and a few spices. Everything mixed in a baking dish and thrown in the oven. It is great for a weeknight dinner or a pot luck event.
Cheesy Chicken and Rice
This Creamy Cheesy Chicken and Rice is the ultimate comfort food. I make this recipe with shredded leftover rotisserie chicken. However, if you don't have chicken pre-made you can cook it ahead of time. It can also be cooked in the oven in the rice and cheese sauce. (will take longer). With fall right around the corner, comfort foods are on everyone's mind. Extra Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese and INSTANT POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST are both great options. The recipes can be found on the blog under the menus.
This is a great weeknight meal, easy to throw together in a hurry. This recipe was originally found on a Campbell's soup can. However, I used pre-cooked chicken and skipped the vegetables. If you are looking for a side dish to go along with this, try a Classic Wedge Salad or Easy Fried Apples.
