Is there anything more delicious and comforting for dinner than backed chicken and rice casserole? This recipe is a childhood favorite using my favorite brand of cream of chicken soup. I tossed out the red can many years ago for a nifty box! It has the same time saving benefits but just tastes better!

This sounds so easy and yummy! Definitely saving to make later 🙂
Thank you! This is one of my favorite chicken and rice dinners.
Have you made this the day before baking it?
No I have not! I have cooked and reheated though.
Confirming…the cream of chicken “soup” is the dry version and does not need to be made according to directions first because the 2 cups of broth will create the “soup”…???
Yes, and I should update that! That is a very good point.
so how many regular cans of soup does this equal to?
I would love to know as well. I was just about to get started when I read these comments.
Each box works as an equivalent to regular red can creamed soups.
Sorry, I missed this! It is the same! The one I use is in a box! However, since creating this recipe it is now in the can! 🙂
