Quick and Easy Chicken and Rice Casserole

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This takes no time to prepare, I have tryed this using different flavor soups, I find that cream of chicken and celery are the best, or use 2 cans cream of chicken, I also like to add the garlic powder and also a pinch of cayenne pepper to the soup mixture :)

The perfect comfort food for a chilly fall day. I used chicken thighs and, since I had no soup mix on hand, I sprinkled dried onion and beef base on top. I served it with peas & mushrooms on the side, which were great mixed in with the rice and sauce. Might try it with the peas baked in next time.

The soup mix came on a little strong so maybe cutting it back a bit next time but overall it was quick, easy, and fed four of us rather well.

I tired this recipe last week and it was great! I left out the wine and onion soup mix and it was still delicious! I added some finely diced sauteed onions though. My 8 year old step-daughter who claims to hate rice cleaned her plate and asked for more! I will defiantly be making this again! Thanks for the recipe!!!
