This Is My Signature Dish for Church Suppers, and My Friends at Church Absolutely Rave About It
When it comes to church suppers, potlucks, or community gatherings, you want a dish that is easy to make, travels well, and wins everyone’s heart. My go-to recipe is a Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole, a comforting classic that never fails to get compliments. Every time I bring it, people ask for seconds and beg me for the recipe. Today, I’m sharing exactly how to prepare it step by step.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup crushed buttery crackers or breadcrumbs (optional topping)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook your rice ahead of time—this recipe works beautifully with leftover rice. Shred or cube your chicken. Rotisserie chicken is perfect here, making the dish even faster to assemble.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a medium skillet, melt the butter (or heat olive oil). Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant. This adds a fresh flavor that balances the richness of the casserole.
