Busy Mom Chicken & Rice Casserole

"I think this one came from the first cookbook my mom ever bought me, I've made it ever since I was about ten years old. Easy, cheap, and good tasting. You can substitute onion soup for the celery soup, and use onion salt instead of soup mix if you want and it'll taste just fine (discovered that when I was out of them)."

  1. This was pretty good. I added some chicken broth while it was cooking because the rice was very dry and the chicken still needed to cook more. i will probably be making again. thanks for posting
     
  2. Ok it was a good idea but I used can of cream chicken also and a little more milk also I baked it for 3 hrs because the rice was hard so I added 1/4c more milk.After all my pain and suffering it was plain nest time im going to season the chicken more.
     
  3. wow! This was so tasty.. I only used 1/2 of a packet of the onion soup mix. and I used Chicken breasts.. came out fantastic!!
     
  4. An excellent recipe, considering how quick it is to throw together. Very flavorful, I added some fresh sliced mushrooms and chopped celery for added texture and the whole family loved it. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. I made this tonight for dinner exactly as stated and was not real impressed with the rice. The crusty bottom made the rice almost inedible. The chicken was good but this won't be a keeper for me.

  1. I, too, have made this for years. The only difference is that I use a can of Campbell's onion soup instead of the dry soup mixes and do not include the 1/2 cup of milk. Just mix all three soups together and pour over the rice. It turns out great every time. Be sure not to salt anything. Easy and tasty!

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites. My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs. Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
