Smoky Mountain Chicken And Rice Casserole Recipes

SMOKY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI RABE AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, to cook off the raw taste, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk together the chicken stock, creme fraiche, sherry vinegar, garlic paste and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Slowly stir the liquid into the onion mixture, whisking the entire time. Lumps might form at first but just keep whisking -- they will go away. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the sauce simmers and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the chicken, rice, broccoli rabe, rosemary, liquid smoke, red pepper flakes and cheese. Top with the sliced almonds and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 13x9x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix sour cream, soup, chipotles, salt and pepper until well blended. Stir in rice, chicken and cheese. Spoon into baking dish. Bake uncovered in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, until edges of casserole are bubbly. Turn oven to broil setting and lightly brown casserole.
• 2. NOTE: I mixed everything together and cooked in the crockpot for a couple of hours on low, because my oven was not working. Next time I will bake it. I can't imagine it being any better.
