I'm giving this 5 stars, even though I made some tweaks, since my family just finished the whole pan in one night (everyone was still picking at it after dinner). Ok, here's my tweaks. Since just salt and pepper just seemed too bland, I added some onion powder which was just the right touch. Also, since we don't like runny casseroles, I beefed up the rice about a half cup. Lastly, we love cheese so i added quite a bit extra. Last note is that I broke up the biscuit dough into small pieces and scattered them on the top which covered it perfectly. Quick, easy, cheap and goooood. Our new go to comfort food.
My family really enjoyed this recipe. I made the rice with chicken broth, covered it with foil and baked it until there was 10 minutes left of cooking time. I removed the foil and put the biscuits on top, I then baked it until the biscuits were done.
This was very good and the leftovers were just as tasty as it was fresh from the oven. Super easy to make, especially if you have leftover rice and/or chicken. I did have to cover with foil about halfway through so the biscuits wouldn't burn while cooking all the way through. Will definitely make this again.
This was one of my favorites as a kid and haven’t found one close enough to moms recipe but this is almost there! I did tweak a few things I added one large yellow onion while I was cooking the chicken and seasoned it with pink Himalayan salt pepper and onion powder and a T. Of minced garlic. For the water in the pan I added 2 T of Worcestershire and cooked threw. When I mixed everything in a mixing bowl I added two cups of fiesta cheese and I steered a bag of mixed frozen vegetable and did 1 10oz Can cream of chicken and 1 10oz Can of cream of mushroom just like my mom would do. This made of one killer recipe!!! Will make again and again my family loves this!
Excellent. I made my biscuits from scratch.
I actually have it in the oven right now. I chopped up some fresh broccoli spears and some celery and added it to the base mixture along with some seasonings. I have it in the oven on 400 for about 30 minutes then I will turn it down and put the biscuit dough on top. Here's what it looks like right now.
I made this for dinner tonight and I did make a few changes to add a bit more flavor. I boiled the chicken breasts whole in a pot with 3 roughly chopped carrots, 4 roughly chopped celery stalks, 2 onions quartered, 2 bay leaves, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 2 Tbsp salt, 2 tsp pepper and water to cover all. I boiled all that for about an hour and a half then drained, discarded vegetables, chopped the chicken and followed the recipe. I also used cream of mushroom soup and whipped up a batch of drop biscuits to top it off. This is a good base recipe and can be altered to your specific taste. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Ultimate comfort food! Did make modifications based on scale and personal preferences. Used 2 regular sized cans (couldn't find size called for) of cream of chicken with herbs and one cream of chicken with mushroom (2 would have been better as it was quite runny or decrease milk); increased rice to 1.5 cups raw; increased chicken to 4 big breasts (2.5 pounds total) and cooked with herbs and finished with wine; and used a large thing of biscuits. Would definitely make again but would cover biscuits for first half of cooking as they browned before casserole was sufficiently warmed through. Would also likely change the cheese to maybe swiss or italian blend.
It was just okay. Nothing to write home about but a meal the kids will eat that is easy to make. For sure add flavor to suit your likes. Need to cut the flaky biscuits in half or they won t cook throughly.
