Rice A Roni Casserole
Rice A Roni Casserole
Use chicken or ham when preparing this. I made this on 26 Jun 2023, using chicken thighs and my family and visiting friends and family, all loved this dish! This is highly recommended. I made this again on 7 Jul 2023 using cubed ham, and family loved this as well! Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Notes section.
Equipment
- Baking Pan (9x13 inch)
- Oven
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs or breasts, boneless, skinless, chopped, or cubed ham, (1 lb)
- 2 boxes Rice a Roni, chicken flavor, Shortcut
- 1 head fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces, (frozen use 10 oz / 285 g)
- 2 cans condensed creamy chicken mushroom soup, (10½ oz / 298 g each)
- 250 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded, (8 oz)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken your preferred way, such as boil, pressure cook, or bake, then chop the chicken, removing the bones, skin, gristle.If using ham, just cube that.
- While the chicken is cooking prepare the Rice a Roni using the package instructions, or prepare 2 batches using the Shortcut, which is my preferred way.
- While all that is cooking, steam or simmer the broccoli until it is tender crisp. Drain.
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), and get out a 9x13 baking dish and grease with butter or non stick spray.
- To a large mixing bowl or large pot, add the chicken or ham, Rice a Roni, and drained broccoli, and mix together.
- Add the soup and mix that in.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is starting to brown on top. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
