Description

A delicious and easy chicken and rice casserole made with tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 medium)
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • ½ cup chopped onion (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 4 oz canned mushrooms (stems and pieces, drained)
  • 1 pkg onion soup mix
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp cold water
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package directions and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, 1¼ cups water, and 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
  3. In another bowl, mix 1 Tbsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp cold water until smooth; set aside.
  4. Cut 1 lb chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 Tbsp butter in a skillet, add chicken, and brown for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté ½ cup onion, ½ cup green pepper, and 1 can mushrooms for 2–3 minutes, until softened.
