Minute Rice Five Spice Casserole Recipes

MINUTE RICE FIVE SPICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
• Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
• Simmer 5 minutes.
• Stir occasionally.
• Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
• Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
• Garnish with olives if desired.
• Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
• Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!

EASY CHICKEN & MINUTE RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (see baking instructions for alternate methods).
• Mix the 2 cans of soup, 1 can milk, and 1 cup of uncooked rice together. Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Pour above mixture into a 13x9x2 casserole dish.
• Cut the chicken into strips (about the width of a chicken tender/finger).
• Push the chicken strips down into the soup & rice mixture in the casserole dish so they are completely emerged.
• Sprinkle top with lemon pepper/salt/black pepper.
• Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes or until chicken is finished. NOTE that cooking time will vary depending on how you choose to cut up the chicken. If using whole chicken breasts cook at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until finished.
• You may also choose to make this in a crock pot, if so, cook on low 7-8 hours.
• My family loves this recipe and it is SOOOO easy to make, plus I usually have all of these ingredients on hand which makes for a quick meal.
• I love the flavors of the rice so much that sometimes I will make it without the chicken as a quick and easy side dish!
