It’s cold outside, so all I seem to want is a warm blanket, a good book, and some comfort food. If you find yourself wanting some good old fashioned comfort food this Chicken, Rice and Green Bean Casserole is sure to entice you. It somewhat resembles the green bean casserole that everyone loves to eat at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. But the addition of chicken and rice makes this casserole a complete meal.
Ingredients
10 3/4 ounces cream of mushroom soup
2 cups milk
1 cup white rice, uncooked (do not use instant rice)
2 cups chicken, cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
1 pound frozen green beans, slightly thawed
4 ounces mushrooms, drained
2 tablespoons pimentos, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (2.8 oz. container) French fried onion rings
Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF, and prepare a large casserole dish or 9 x 13 inch pan by coating with nonstick cooking spray. Pro Tip: This casserole dish is great. It is study and has sure grip handles. It makes transferring the hot pan much easier.
In a large sauce pan, combine milk, cream soup, and rice. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken, green beans, mushrooms, and pimentos.
Stir to combine.
Remove from heat and pour into the prepared casserole dish. Spread shredded cheese on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the onion rings on top of the cheese. Bake casserole uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cover the casserole loosely with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake an additional 20 minutes.

Casseroles are a big hit with our family and since hubby loves chicken this would be definitely be a winner winner chicken dinner in our house!
This looks really, really delicious!
Oh goodness, that looks delicious! I’m going to have to make this one night.
This looks delicious. I love casseroles for dinner. Just put everything together and toss it in the oven
Oh! This recipe sounds so Delicious.. I can’t wait to try it! I know this one will be a hit with the family. They are all crtazy about the traditional green bean casserole we have on the Holidays. Thankyou for sharing your recipe. I Pinned it so I would have it. Have a Nice Dat!
I have been making a recipe somewhat like this one only using ham and frozen asparagus. It is, however a very heavy casserole. I like this casserole recipe very much. It does make a full meal and if very lucky, delicious leftovers as well. Yes, I have surely been snowbound far too long.
My recipe is similar but yours sounds easier. I am all about easy! I will have to try this recipe. I am sure my family will love it if turns out like yours.
This was delicious, the whole family loved it!
So glad to hear it, and thanks so much for letting us know!
This recipe is not only easy on the budget, but it’s really yummy. One of those comforting casseroles. I used fresh sliced mushrooms in place of the canned. I just can’t do canned mushrooms. My kids loved it and polished off what little leftovers there were the next day for lunch. I always try to keep already chopped cooked chicken in the freezer, but sometimes find myself with out any. A rotisserie chicken from the grocery store would work great to save you some time if you don’t have any chicken already done and ready to go.
what should I use instead of fried onion rings I dont have any .
Hi Angie – What about trying seasoned panko breadcrumbs or homemade onion crisps, think it would add a similar crunch. Let me know what you end up doing.
