Angel Chicken and Rice Casserole

A creamy, cozy casserole that’s quick enough for weeknights and pretty enough for company.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken and cooked rice.
  3. Add cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth; stir until mostly smooth.
  4. Mix in shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until heated through and bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

Use day-old or cooled cooked rice to avoid a soggy casserole. Shred chicken finely for even distribution. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated.
