Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole Recipe

Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Sauté onions and garlic: While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
4. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cooked chicken, sautéed onion and garlic, heavy cream, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
