Dolly’s Casserole
With a tiny list of ingredients and only 10 minutes of prep you can enjoy a comforting chicken and rice casserole for dinner tonight. This is one of those recipes that just reminds me of Grandma’s cooking. Try adding in a bag of frozen vegetables to round it out. Recipe adapted from Dolly Parton’s 5 Ingredient Casserole.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Rotisserie chicken–or any cooked chicken chopped up
- Cream of chicken and herbs soup–campbell’s brand
- Sour cream
- Converted or long grain white rice
- Ritz crackers
- Cheddar cheese–or colby, mexican blend
Steps
Heat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl stir together all ingredients.
Spray a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the chicken mixture into the pan.
Bake for 40 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- Serve with steamed or roasted broccoli. Alternately, you can stir a package of frozen broccoli in with the chicken mixture and make this a broccoli chicken casserole.
- I love using the rotisserie chicken from Costco for a recipe like this one.
- Instead of the water and rice try adding in 3-4 cups of frozen hashbrowns to make this a hashbrown chicken casserole.
- For a little something extra add in a half cup of diced ham.
- 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 Ritz crackers are Instant Pot Ritz Chicken and Air Fryer Heavenly Chicken.
