Mushroom and Chicken Rice Casserole is a comforting one-dish meal featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and creamy rice, perfect for family dinners or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup white or brown rice (uncooked)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter and sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms until softened.
  3. In a casserole dish, combine uncooked rice, sautéed mushroom mixture, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it on top of the rice mixture.
  5. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes of baking if a browned top is desired.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to cut down prep time; add it in the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Add spinach or peas for more vegetables.
  • Quinoa can be substituted for rice, adjusting liquid as needed.
  • Swap cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different flavor.
  • This dish freezes well—cool completely before freezing in an airtight container.
