Country Cabin Casserole–an easy dump and go Instant Pot chicken and rice recipe with a creamy tomato sauce, a bit of curry powder and topped with parmesan cheese.
Country Cabin Casserole
I’m always a fan of dump and go dinners with easy ingredients that I have on hand and this one fit the bill. It’s kind of a unique combination of ingredients but it somehow works. The original recipe that I adapted this from called for currants which, honestly, I have no idea what those even are…lol.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Chicken Broth–or water and Better than Bouillon
- Converted Rice–or long grain white rice
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs–you can use breasts although thighs will stay more moist and tender
- Crushed Tomatoes–or petite diced
- Cream of Chicken with Herbs Soup–or cream of mushroom
- Curry Powder
- Italian Seasoning
- Black Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Dried Onion
Steps
Add broth, chicken, rice, tomatoes, soup, and seasonings to the Instant Pot in layers without stirring. Seal the lid and pressure cook for 5 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes before releasing pressure. Stir everything together and serve warm, topped with parmesan cheese.
Notes/Tips
- Serve with green salad, garlic bread or roasted vegetables.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer leaner meat.
- Add a handful of frozen peas or spinach at the end for extra color and veggies.
- To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free cream of chicken soup. Campbells now makes a gluten free version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with curry powder are Instant Pot Country Captain Chicken and Instant Pot Yellow Chicken Curry and Jasmine Rice.
Did you know you can filter the recipes on my website to search by meat type, IP or Crockpot, low carb, gluten free, etc.? Use the filter to find exactly what you are looking for.
