Recipe Summary Curry Chicken And Rice

I found this recipe and it sounded so good, but it served 100! I tweaked to serve 4 and use ingredients we like, and the results were great! I've got permission to make again, and I know I will. I love to use bone-in chicken thighs, but boneless breasts or thighs would work very well also.

Ingredients | Recipes For Chicken And Rice Casserole

¼ cup butter

1 onion, chopped

3 stalks celery, chopped

1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix

1 ½ cups water

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed golden mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon curry powder

4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Although a browned top is desired, if the top is getting too brown, cover loosely with aluminum foil during cooking.
