Season the other side, flip and cook for a couple more minutes. Sear chicken in oil, skin side down, for about 3 minutes or until a dark gold brown crust forms. Sprinkle about ⅔ of the seasoning on the skin side of the chicken. Parmesan Cheese - This is another important ingredient because it just takes this casserole to the next level with its naturally salty, nutty flavor.Ĭombine paprika, garlic powder and a large pinch of salt and pepper.It is a must and really shouldn't be substituted. Heavy Cream - This is the key to make this casserole perfectly creamy.Chicken Broth - If you don't have chicken broth on hand, vegetable broth will work in its place.This particular rice blend works best in this recipe. You get the starchy, fluffy rice from the basmati and a level of nuttiness from the wild rice blend. Rice - I love the texture and flavor of a basmati and wild rice blend for this dish.Fresh Thyme - This is the only fresh herb I used in this recipe because it’s just so dang good fresh, but you can use dried thyme if you’re in a pinch.Fresh Veggies - This chicken and rice casserole recipe calls for the classic mirepoix veggies - carrots, celery, and onion - as well as garlic.But you could use any seasonings you prefer - a seasoned salt or poultry seasoning, or even Italian seasoning. Dry Seasonings - I like the combination of paprika, garlic powder, dried rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for this recipe because it’s reminiscent of chicken noodle soup.Chicken Thighs - We want bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe so that we achieve as much savory, delicious chicken flavor as possible.Olive Oil - I like extra virgin olive oil for the flavor, but you could also use any other light-tasting oil with a high smoke point, like avocado.If you loved this one pot dinner be sure to check out my One Skillet Walking Taco Casserole, One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta, or my Vegetarian Skillet Pot Pie.The starch from the rice combines with heavy cream and shredded Parmesan in this recipe, giving this casserole just the right amount of rich creaminess without reaching for the Campbell's. But there are other ways to give your casserole that same creamy texture without the use of condensed soup. And don't get me wrong, it was delicious.
