Chicken and rice casserole is all prepped and baked in the same dish for an effortless meal and minimal clean up.
One pan meals are a busy night game changer. No giant stack of dishes but still a delicious home cooked meal served up in no time. This casserole is just that. Extremely minimal effort but it doesn’t taste like it.
You get your meat, vegetables, and grains all in one dish, so it is a well-rounded dish to serve your family. No sides would be necessary, but it would be good paired with Oven Roasted Asparagus and Icebox Butter Rolls.
This keeps really well in the refrigerator for many days. It is also just as tasty leftover.
This recipe is very forgiving so you can use chicken or turkey, your favorite kind of rice, add more vegetables to it if you’d like, and use a different kind of potato. Use what you have on hand or what your preferences are.

- Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Once the 25 minutes is up, remove the baking dish from the oven and add in the cubed meat and potatoes. Stir until everything it combined.
