Open in Pepper →Chicken And Rice That Feeds Everybody
Chicken, rice, cheese, and a can of cream of chicken soup will get you through a lot of Tuesdays. It's cheap, it stretches, and the kids actually eat it without a fight.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights nobody planned ahead — when the chicken's still half frozen at 4 o'clock, or there's leftover rotisserie in the fridge and one pan's all you want to wash.
Every recipe here is that same comfort in a different shape: Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice for the set-it-and-go days, Creamy Parm One Pot Chicken and Rice, a quick Cheesy Chicken & Rice Skillet, Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Rice Casserole when you want a vegetable in there, plus Fajita Chicken Casserole and Slow Cooker Crack Chicken and Rice.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use long-grain white rice
Instant and brown rice soak up liquid at different rates; if you swap, add about 1/2 cup more broth and 15 extra minutes.
- 2
Shred cheese yourself
Bagged shreds are coated to keep from clumping and can turn grainy. An 8-ounce block grated fresh melts smooth.
- 3
Add cheese at the end
Stir most of it in during the last 10 minutes and scatter the rest on top so it browns instead of turning oily.
- 4
Let it rest 10 minutes
Pull the casserole out and let it sit 10 minutes before serving so the rice finishes absorbing and it scoops clean.
