We had a busy day today so it was the perfect opportunity to have this French Fried Onion Chicken & Rice Casserole. I made a rotisserie chicken in my crock pot and had some leftover rice to use up, so this dinner was on the table start to finish in under 35 minutes. Our family absolutely LOVES this recipe and I love that it is so quick and easy to prepare! It is meals like this, that keep us away from the drive thru on those busy weeknights! For even more convenience, you could also prepare this casserole in the morning and just pop it into the oven when you get ready to bake it!

Dumb question here: what are French fried onions?
-

They are usually somewhere between the canned vegetables and the 'cream of' soups. They are used in green bean casseroles a lot of the time. Here is a pic >>> http://www.frenchs.com/products/french-fried-onions/french-fried-onions

Looks great, I want to Make immediately :). I don't think they have your brand of rice here in Canada, can you advise measurement for how much cooked rice recipie calls for so I can make with regular white rice? Thanks so much,

Good question! Each bag of success rice is 2 cups cooked rice when prepared. So you can use 2 cups of cooked rice. Thanks for your question!

I made this yesterday afternoon. I poached whole chicken breast halves and the rice was basmati left over from another meal a few days ago. No peas, just doubled the carrots. It was delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe. If my husband liked peas they would've been in it. k
