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.
