Chicken and Yellow Rice is savory, succulent and so delectable! It’s certainly one of our favorite chicken entrees. Chicken is baked on top of a bed of seasoned yellow rice mixed with chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. It’s a tasty main dish meal that’s great for company or family dinners. I make it regularly for families in need of a meal because it tastes so delicious and usually kids like it too.

This main dish is so quick and easy to put together, too. It only has four ingredients making it one of those casseroles you can assemble in 5 minutes time and then put it in the oven to bake. I have not tried it in the crockpot, but I’m sure it would turn out well that way too. It’s very tasty and quite economical as well. Add a salad or veggie and you have a complete meal.

Back in the early 1980s a good friend asked me to type all of her recipes into my new personal computer so we could print out a cookbook of all her recipes. This was one of Mimi’s favorite recipes. I think it may have been a family recipe. I’m pretty sure she served it often.

It’s just a great recipe for any occasion. I use a delicious saffron yellow rice packet to make it. The chicken is mouthwatering and very tender prepared this way. Our family has enjoyed this recipe many times over the years. I’m sure you will too.

I first posted this recipe in August 2012. I was new to the blogosphere then and the pictures were quite deplorable. I recently remade this recipe (March 2014) and freshened up the pictures so you can get a better idea of how lovely this one-dish casserole really is.

If you’re looking for a scrumptious main dish chicken and rice recipe, then give this excellent recipe a try sometime. You won’t be disappointed.

Tasty saffron yellow rice makes a great base for this Chicken and Yellow Rice dish.

Here’s what I did.

You only need 4 ingredients!

Mix three packets of yellow rice, a can of cream of chicken soup and 2 cups of chicken broth.

Stir to combine.

Spray a 10×15″ baking dish with cooking spray. Add rice mixture. Lay chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Remove chicken from oven. Fluff rice with a fork and add an additional cup of broth. Bake an additional 30 minutes.

Turn chicken pieces over. Add an additional cup or so of broth and bake another 15-30 minutes until done. Fluffy rice every 15 minutes.

Here the chicken and rice is ready.
