Angel Chicken And Rice Casserole

What’s in Angel Chicken Rice Casserole?

The ingredients needed for this recipe are basic, and in fact, you should have most of them in your kitchen. You can find exact measurements for each ingredient in the recipe card below.

Casserole

Shredded Chicken: Pre-cooked chicken makes the dish super quick to assemble. Rotisserie chicken is a great option! White Rice: Cooked rice adds bulk and absorbs the flavors of the sauce, binding the casserole together. Cream Cheese: Adds a rich, creamy texture to the casserole. Be sure to soften it to room temperature so it mixes easily. Unsalted Butter: Enhances the overall taste with a rich buttery flavor. Cream of Chicken Soup: Thickens the sauce and gives it a savory, slightly creamy chicken flavor. Chicken Broth: Keeps everything nice and moist as the casserole bakes. Italian Dressing Mix: Infuses flavor into the dish with a blend of Italian herbs and spices. Salt and Pepper: To taste!

Topping

Panko Breadcrumbs: Provide a light, airy crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy casserole beneath. Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar is a good melty cheese that creates a gooey, golden-brown layer over the filling. Seasonings: A blend of salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme gives the dish a delicious, savory flavor.

Angel Chicken Rice Recipe Instructions

Angel Chicken and Rice Casserole is an easy, no-fuss dish that combines simple prep with minimal ingredients. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a comforting meal with little effort.

Soup: Try using cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken for some variation. Rice: You don’t have to use white rice; wild or brown rice can be used as long as it’s cooked before adding it to the casserole. Chicken: For cooked chicken, I like to use a rotisserie or buy cooked chicken breast from Costco. There are so many meals that use cooked chicken, so buying a Costco-size bag of cooked chicken is worth it!
