This is a delicious casserole easily made with onions, carrots, basmati rice, and chicken. It’s a complete meal in one that’s impressive enough to serve to a crowd. If you want another simple meal to add to your weeknight dinner rotation, this easy recipe is a must! If desired, you can serve this chicken rice casserole with a simple side salad.
This casserole is another no-fuss recipe you can make using just a few simple ingredients. You can use your favourite chicken seasoning such as Dash Original Seasoning, Taco Seasoning, Old Bay Seasoning to suit your taste. For this recipe, I recommend using boneless chicken thighs as they are more tender and succulent but feel free to use whatever you have available.
