When it comes to quick, easy and delicious dinners, nothing comes close to my Chicken and Rice Casserole! This is a family favorite in our house because it tastes absolutely amazing. The kids simply love it and I love it too because it is so easy to prepare.
I can make it in the morning and it will be ready to bake in the oven when I get home. Once cooked, the chicken is unbelievably juicy and tender, the rice is cooked perfectly and there is a creamy rich flavorful sauce. What’s not to love about this casserole?
I use scallions, broccoli, and tomato in my chicken and rice casserole, but you could add bell peppers, mushrooms or any other vegetables you like to change it up.
To make my Chicken and Rice Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Heat the butter in a large ovenproof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and ¾ of the scallions and fry gently for about 2 minutes until softened.
Stir in the chicken, broccoli, rice, tomato, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and chicken broth together. Add to the pan, stir well and bring to a simmer.
Stir in half each of the havarti cheese and parmesan cheese. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven.
Bake the casserole for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Turn on the broiler. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining cheese. Broil for about 2 minutes until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden.
Garnish with the remaining scallions and serve.
