Step by Step Instructions for Making Easy Chicken and Rice Casserole
STEP 1:
To make this chicken and rice casserole, I started by dumping some long grain white rice, frozen corn, milk, condensed cream of chicken soup and one pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix into a large mixing bowl.
STEP 2:
I stirred all of the ingredients together and then poured the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
STEP 3:
Then I cut some raw chicken breasts into slices.
I lay the slices of chicken breast on top of the mixture in the baking dish.
Then I covered the baking dish with aluminum foil and placed it in the oven to bake for 50 minutes.
STEP 4:
While the casserole was in the oven I prepared the Ritz cracker topping.
I placed some Ritz crackers in a large Ziploc bag and then crushed them with a heavy bottomed pot.
Then I dumped the crushed crackers into a small mixing bowl along with some melted butter and an egg.
I stirred the ingredients together with a fork.
STEP 5:
At the 50 minute mark I removed the casserole from the oven and took off the foil.
I sprinkled the Ritz cracker mixture over the casserole and then returned the dish to the oven uncovered to crisp up the topping.
Once the Ritz cracker topping was starting to brown I removed the casserole from the oven.
I allowed the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
This creamy chicken and rice casserole is packed with flavour.
