Ingredients
2 c. cooked chopped chicken, about half of a rotisserie chicken
2 c. instant white rice
1 c. refrigerated sour cream French onion dip
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
½ c. chicken broth
½ c. French Fried Onions
1 (10.75 ounces) can cream of chicken soup
2 c. water
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH ONION CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch pan, and set aside.
Step 2: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Then, add the instant rice, cover the pan, and turn the heat off. Let it stand for about 5 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Step 3: Place the chicken, chicken soup, French onion dip, cheddar cheese, chicken broth, and cooked rice in a large bowl. Mix well until combined, then spread the mixture into the prepared pan. On top, sprinkle the French fried onions.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and bubbly.
Notes:
Swap the minute rice and water with 4 cups of any cooked rice.
You can make this ahead and simply keep it in the fridge or freeze it for later.
Thaw completely in the fridge before baking as instructed.
Feel free to substitute the dip with sour cream and 1 tbsp onion mix.
