  • 2–3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (or diced cooked chicken)
  • 1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups uncooked minute rice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the cooked chicken, Lipton onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, water, uncooked minute rice, and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour Mixture: Transfer the chicken and rice mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in during baking.
  6. Bake Covered: Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to allow the rice to absorb liquid and cook through.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top and thicken the casserole.
  8. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your creamy chicken and rice casserole!
