If you are looking for a really yummy chicken and rice casserole look no further!
Chicken and Rice Casserole
4 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion , chopped (about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 ½ cups chicken stock
3 ½ cups whole milk ( don’t hesitate to add a bit more once it is cooked if you want it creamier. I will typically add at least 1/2 cup more especially if I know I am freezing it)
1 ½ cups long-grain rice (uncooked)
3 cups cooked chicken, cubed (I use chicken from 1 Rotisserie Chicken)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 sleeve Ritz style crackers (finely crushed)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

I had to sub some ingredients. Half & half for the milk and French Fried Onions for the Ritz crackers and sprinkled the cheeses on top before adding the onions. Was DELICIOUS.
It’s a great recipe. Love the no canned soup solution 🙂

Love thie recipe. No more canned soup for me! First time, I made with no changes. Second time, I didn’t have cheddar, so I used mozzarella. Also had to use bread crumbs. Stiill turned out nice, but I definitely prefer the buttery taste of the crackers on top. This is a recipe that is easy to customize without ruining it; however, it’s prefect as written! Thank you!
