Make this Asian chicken and rice recipe with a delicious sauce! This casserole has boneless chicken breast, veggies, and takes under 10 minutes. Your family is going to love this.
We’re a fan of Asian food around here. Steve is half Chinese, and his grandparents owned a Chinese restaurant. So sometimes we like to take traditional dishes and add a bit of “Asian flair” to them!
This chicken and rice bake is a perfect example of one of those recipes. If you’re looking for a casserole that is easy to make, that will serve your family, and that they will love – this is it!
What we particularly love about this chicken and rice bake recipe is that you can add any veggies that you like. For this version we used broccoli, but you can grab a bag of almost anything! Use carrots and peas, stir fry veggies . . . whatever you’re in the mood for.
It’s that versatile! This is one of those easy chicken casseroles that is good for getting kids to eat their vegetables. The broccoli doesn’t taste like broccoli – you know what I mean (wink wink). Learn how to make this quick family dinner.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice (not instant)
- 4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 can Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1 bag frozen broccoli crowns
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Sprinkle of paprika
Here are a few thoughts about this recipe:
- If you have time, you can always marinade the chicken before hand. Simply make the sauce (no broccoli, no rice) in a large bowl and add the chicken. Place in the fridge for several hours.
- There’s no reason you can’t use other frozen vegetables besides the broccoli (or in addition to). You could use peas and carrots, etc.
- I’ve been asked if the chicken breast can be substituted with chicken thighs. The answer is yes, absolutely.
- I think this would be absolutely delicious with chow mein noodles on top. I haven’t tried it, but doesn’t it sounds tasty? If you give it a go, let me know.

If you use brown rice do you have to cook it longer,?

Hi there Ruth! I'm not sure but I wouldn't think so - simply because brown rice usually takes 45 min to cook and I think it would cook fully during the baking of the chicken. But I wouldn't think it would need more than like 10 extra minutes or so if it does need any extra time.

Can I use fresh vegetables? I was looking up dishes to make with what I have and only have fresh.
