Creamy and Cheesy Chicken and Rice Recipe – A rich cheesy sauce, coats wholesome brown rice and tender chicken for the ultimate comforting chicken and rice casserole.
Thyme Leaves: If you don’t have fresh thyme–do not worry!! It adds an extra layer of flavor that I enjoy but is completely not necessary. You can substitute ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves works as well. Do not use ground thyme. The flavor is overwhelming.
Wine: White wine adds a rich depth of flavor to this chicken and rice casserole, but is not necessary, just replace it with an additional ¼ cup of chicken stock.
Garlic: This recipe has a lot of added garlic, feel free to cut the amount in half, if you are sensitive to high amounts of garlic.
Storage: Store leftover chicken and rice casserole in a covered container for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Make-Ahead Instructions: To prepare this casserole in advance, prepare up to baking. Cover tightly with 2 layers of foil. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
