Easy Chicken and Rice Casserole

Is there anything more comforting than a chicken & rice casserole? We actually don’t think so. It’s the type of recipe we turn to time after time again during the fall and winter, just like roast chicken or our tortellini soup. If you’d rather sub in chicken breasts, you totally can — we just love thighs for their flavor and crispy skin. Here’s why this is the casserole of our dreams:

1. You don’t even have to dirty a pan. This is a literal dump ‘n bake recipe: You put the uncooked rice and onion, broth, and cream of mushroom soup into a casserole dish and then top with the chicken thighs.

2. It only dirties ONE dish. Seriously, how could you go back to a normal recipe after this? By layering ingredients in the baking dish, you won’t have to bust out a skillet or bowl. Which makes this casserole perfect for a lazy Tuesday when calling up pizza delivery is all too tempting.
