Ingredients | Rice Chicken Casserole

1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix

2 tablespoons butter

6 large mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic powder to taste

1 (15 ounce) jar Classico® Fresh Four Cheese Alfredo Sauce, divided

20 saltine crackers, crushed

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Prepare rice according to package directions.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until they release some moisture and begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms from pan.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in the same skillet. Saute chicken pieces until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Combine the rice, chicken, mushrooms, and 3/4 of the jar of Alfredo sauce in the prepared baking dish. Mix well, and then spread remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle crushed crackers evenly over casserole and drizzle 1 tablespoon melted butter over top.

Bake until heated through and topping is golden, about 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
