You just got home from a long day at work, and you want something easy for dinner. Chicken and rice casserole is one of the easiest things to make. Once you put it together, throw it in the oven and forget about it for an hour.
Instructions
Make Chicken and Rice Casserole
1. Cook the rice. You can cheat and use the rice that comes in the perforated bags and throw it in the microwave, to make things really easy. As the rice is cooking, slice the chicken breasts one inch strips. Cut the onion in half and out of the half, cut six or seven narrow slices (against the grain, so when you take it apart, you have a half of an onion ring). Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan.
2. Once the oil is hot, throw the chicken and the onion in the pan. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Flip the chicken and onions constantly, cooking until the outside is lightly seared. Mix the rice and mixed vegetables together.
3. Put the seasoned chicken in the bottom of a casserole dish. Mix both soups together and add one can of milk. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Pour one third of the soup mixture over the chicken. Add half of the rice and vegetable mix. Pour 1/3 of the soup mixture over the vegetables. Add the rest of the rice and vegetable mix. Pour the rest of the soup mixture over the top.
4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour or until chicken is done. Makes about four servings.
