Easy Chicken Mushroom and Rice Casserole

I am telling you.......I truly love this recipe though it is definitely not good at all for my hips especially since it's full of carbo and the fact that it is cooked in cream...... Sigh but I just couldn't help it. One of the greatest thing I love about recipes like these is that they are so simple to cook and can be reheated the next day for lunch for my little one as I am not around to cook lunch for her unless I am on leave and that, too I will rather just take her out for a treat.

So here is this absolutely easy to cook recipe which I believe even Caitlin will be able to handle minus putting it into the oven and taking it out. 

Here's it all cooked and allowing it to set for about 10 minutes.



Here's the inside after I took a chunk for Caitlin's dinner.




Ingredients:-


- 2-3 chicken breasts cooked and shredded

- 1.5 cup rice, use the rice cups meant to measure rice.

- 1 cup butter, melted

- 1 can of cream of mushroom

- 1 can of cream of celery 

- 1 can of cream of chicken

- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1 cup mushroom

- 1 tbsp butter

- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs



1. Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius and at the same time grease a baking dish 

2. In a frying pan of medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and lightly sauté the mushrooms.

3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, chicken broth, cream of mushroom, chicken and celery together with rice and mix well.

4. Pour into a casserole dish.

5. Add the chicken and mushroom; and stir lightly into the mixture. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.

6. Bake for about 50 minutes or until rice is cooked.


Verdict??? It's bloody good even if I have to say so myself but do take note, about 1cm around the side of the dish may be a little salty as when the rice cooks, the leftover cream mixture is pushed to the side but the centre is abislutely yummy!!!


Caitlin had seconds and so did I and that's why I woke up this morning feeling guilty and will most likely hit the gym while my little one is dancing today. Looks like another 5km it is today. Mmmmmm......
