Today, I am sharing with you a recipe for Chicken and Rice Casserole. Why did I choose this recipe, you ask? Well, because I fucking love casseroles. There's something so comforting about throwing a bunch of ingredients together in a dish and popping it in the oven. Plus, casseroles are super versatile and you can use whatever the fuck you have in your fridge. It's the perfect lazy-ass meal that still tastes fucking fantastic.
Now, let me rant about these fancy-pants recipe blogs out there. So many of these motherfuckers think they're the next Julia Child with their unnecessarily complex recipes and pretentious cooking techniques. Who the fuck has time to sauté onions in a unicorn's tears or roast vegetables under a full moon? Not me, and probably not you either.
But here at Rage Recipes, we keep shit real. We're not here to impress anyone with our culinary prowess. We're here to make fucking delicious food that doesn't require a goddamn culinary degree or an exotic herb that can only be found in the jungles of Borneo. So let's get the fuck on with this Chicken and Rice Casserole recipe already.
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup uncooked rice (brown, white, or whatever fucking variety you have)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup (because what's a casserole without some creamy bullshit)
- 1 cup chicken broth (you can use homemade if you're feeling ambitious, or just grab a damn carton from the store)
- 1 cup frozen peas (or any other vegetable you have lying around)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any other cheese that melts and makes your heart sing)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more, because fucking garlic is life)
- Salt and pepper to taste (because I'm not your mom and I don't know how much seasoning your taste buds require)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), you lazy fuck.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen peas, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix that shit together until everything is well combined.
- Grease a fucking casserole dish with some butter or cooking spray, because I don't want your food sticking to the bottom like my ex sticking to his toxic habits.
- Dump all that glorious mixture into the greased casserole dish. Spread it out evenly and press it down with a spoon or your bare fucking hands. I don't care.
- Cover the dish with foil and pop it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Oh, you thought we were done? Not yet, asshole. We're going to uncover the dish and bake it for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy. If it's not crispy enough for your liking, broil it for a couple of minutes. Just watch that shit closely, because we don't want to burn the whole damn thing.
- Once the casserole is done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. If you're impatient like me, you'll probably burn your taste buds because you just can't fucking wait. But it's worth it. Totally worth it.
- Serve that chicken and rice masterpiece onto plates or shove it straight into your face. Either way, I won't judge.
Well, what the fuck are you waiting for? Get off your lazy ass, gather those ingredients, and start cooking. This Chicken and Rice Casserole recipe is the epitome of comfort food and it's so easy to put together, even a monkey could do it. So get the fuck in the kitchen and make this fucking delicious dish. And don't forget to invite me over, because I'll fuck your shit up if you don't share.
