Taylor’s Casserole

Today’s recipe is a flavorful one pot meal that comes together fairly quickly. You may want to double the recipe so you can eat half and freeze half for another day. This makes good leftovers for lunch too.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Olive oil–or canola oil
• Onion–yellow or white
• Celery
• Mushrooms
• Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon chicken base
• Parboiled (converted) rice–or white rice
• Boneless skinless chicken thighs–I prefer thighs because they stay moist and tender, you can also use chicken breasts but they won’t be as tender.
• Frozen sweet corn–or a can of corn, drained
• Diced green chiles–I used mild
• Smoked paprika
• Chili powder
• Turmeric
• Poultry seasoning
• Garlic powder
• Cumin
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Tomato
• Sour cream

Steps

Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the oil and swirl it around. Add in the onion, celery and mushrooms. Saute for 4 minutes. 

Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot. 

Sprinkle in the rice. Place chicken on top of rice. Dump in the corn, green chiles, paprika, chili powder, turmeric, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Don’t stir.

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Stir in the tomatoes and sour cream. 

Serve and enjoy!

Notes/Tips

• Serve with a side of black beans or refried beans. Tastes great with pico de gallo or guacamole on top.
• This recipe is gluten-free.
• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Other recipes you can make with turmeric are Sunshine Casserole and Bombay Potatoes.
• What is converted/parboiled rice? Don’t confuse converted rice (or sometimes it is called parboiled rice) with pre-cooked or minute rice. Parboiled rice has been processed in its husk by soaking, steaming, and drying. As a result, all the nutrients from the husk are absorbed into the grain before it’s removed. The starch content alters in the process, making cooked parboiled rice less sticky than regular white rice. The rice kernels aren’t clumpy and glued together instead they are more separated. I found a bag of parboiled rice at Walmart next to the normal long grain white rice. Sometimes I buy it at Winco in the bulk section. I have also found it in the orange box (Ben’s brand) next to other rices.
