Casserole Monday

This is a super easy and delicious recipe for Chicken Casserole. I made two smaller ones and shared one with my son... He pronounced it "super!"...

No Peek-Chicken Casserole

2-3 c. cubed chicken (I used chicken breast)
1 1/2 c. rice (any kind)
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. shredded cheese or a few slices American cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
3/4 c. frozen green peas
1 pkg. dry Lipton onion soup mix
butter
oil
salt
pepper

Cut up chicken into one inch pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper. (I used Paula Deen House Seasoning blend). Brown in a small amount of oil and butter until barely brown.

In large bowl mix soups, milk, and rice. Add any butter and chicken juices from pan... (within reason)...

Spray a 13 by 9 pan (or use two smaller ones).

Layer rice mixture with chicken, ending with a small amount of rice mixture on top. Sprinkle top with dry soup mix and cover with grated cheese or sliced American cheese. Cover tightly with foil and at 350 degrees, bake for 1 1/2 hours WITHOUT looking.

Nice texture to the chicken because it steams, I guess... It was delicious with some buttermilk biscuits
