    Raise your hand if you are a fan of  chicken pot pie... well, me too -- and I've got both of my hands lifted high! What if I told you that the filling from that classic dish is great for more than just filling a pie crust?

    Yep... you have it here, in a Chicken Baked Rice inspired in the classic chicken pot pie. It is dinner made easy, and quite comforting. How come? Check it out, hon!

    CHICKEN BAKED RICE RECIPE

    Pantry staples were used to make this gluten-free one-baking dish. We simply mixed cooked long-grain rice with shredded roasted chicken, frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, green beans, and carrots), canned condensed chicken soup, egg yolks, seasonings, and cheese.

    Then, we placed the mixture into a greased and floured baking dish... and baked for about 25-30 minutes. In the meantime, you can feel free to spend some time on Facebook or reading your favorite magazine. And voilá! Dinner will be ready before you know it.

    I know, I know... Our cheesy chicken and rice casserole has it all, including the taste of life made easier for busy moms like us.

    This dish has all the comforting flavors of the beloved classic -- but without the pie crust. It is perfect not only for busy weeknight meals but also for those lazy weekends. First of all, it doesn't require any special skill from the cook. Second, it is a complete meal all by itself. It may not have "one-pot" or "one-skillet" in its name, but it is definitely part of that same family. And you know what that means... mess-free! 😉

    I confess my husband was a bit skeptical how good this dish would turn out... until he had a spoonful. Boy, no need to tell ya that the man came for seconds and thirds. It made my day! Even my eldest kid -- who can be picky (grrrr!!!) approved.

    If you double or triple some of the ingredients, you will have enough to also make the classic pot pie itself, or this Brazilian version .

    I will leave you now with the formula to one hero of a dish, and to your much-deserved rest.

    HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN BAKED RICE (CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE)

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour (it can be GF) in a medium baking dish; set aside.
    2. In a large bowl, stir in well the condensed chicken soup with the egg yolks. Add the cooked rice, chicken, vegetables, seasonings, and cheddar cheese/mozzarella. Mix well until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.
    3. Place mixture into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm with chopped parsley on top. Enjoy!

    STORAGE

    Leftovers must be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Heat well before eating.

      Chicken pot pie is not a staple here, and the moment we saw this casserole that doesn't have dough on it, we started salivating:):)
      Really great recipe dear Denise, and a fantastic way to use leftover chicken as well;) Plus you can add various cheeses, you can add some spices if you like, and make many different versions of the same dish. M-m-mm!
      Thanx so much for this dear!
      Sending you our love,
