FAQ & Tips for No Peek Chicken and Rice Casserole

Can I use different cuts of chicken?

Yes! If you prefer to use chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins you can use them in this recipe. You can also chop up your boneless skinless chicken breasts into chunks if you prefer smaller chunks of chicken. I don’t recommend using bone-in chicken

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely! If you want to make this easy recipe a complete meal by adding veggies you can! I recommend a 12 oz bag of your favorite frozen veggies. Mixed veggies like peas and carrots make a great addition, so do green beans or broccoli.

Can I use different soup?

If you’re not a fan of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup you can make no peek chicken and rice with any cream soup that you like! You can use cream of celery soup, cream of chicken with herbs or any other cream soup you prefer. If you want you can use low sodium soups.

How to store this easy casserole-

This no peek chicken casserole can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the assembled but unbaked casserole tightly wrapped for up to a month. It is best to thaw it in overnight in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Use White Rice– This chicken and rice recipe works best with long grain white rice. (This is what most regular rice is) Long grain wild rice or brown rice takes longer to cook and can end up uncooked in this recipe, and instant rice will turn to mush.

Cooked no bake chicken and rice casserole.

Other Variations-

Add Cheese– Once your casserole is baked you can top it with shredded cheese. Just sprinkle shredded cheese across the top of the chicken and rice and bake and additional five minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Add Bread Crumbs- For a little crunch you can mix panko bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle across the cooked chicken and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. I like to use 1/2 a cup of bread crumbs and 2-3 tablespoons of butter.

Season the chicken differently- This chicken is delicious with just salt and pepper but you can season it with your favorite seasoning blends. Sometimes I add a little onion powder or garlic powder. You can use your favorite chicken seasoning blend.

A glass baking pan full of a soup and rice mixture topped with boneless skinless chicken breasts.

Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes (Don’t Peek!) check and make sure the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. (the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees when measured with a meat thermometer)

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before taking the foil off.

Slice or shred the chicken, serve and enjoy!
