To make this Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole you will:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
Place rice and rice seansong packet into a large mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over rice.
Add chicken broth and soup and onion mix.
Mix until all ingredients have been incorporated. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Place chicken pieces on top of rice.
Spread chopped broccoli over the top.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder over chicken and broccoli.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 min to 2 hours , or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
(Mine usually take 1.5 hours, but time may vary depending on oven, altitude and other variables).
Ingredients:
- 1 ( 4.3 oz.) package long grain wild rice ( I use Rice- A- Roni long grain wild rice) or 4.3 oz. wild or brown rice-if following the WW purple plan
- 1 Tbsp Land O’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil, melted
- 3 (5 0z.) boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced vertically in half making 6 thinly sliced pieces
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 ( 1.1 oz.) dry onion soup mix ( I use Lipton onion soup mix)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp Dak’s Red Original spice or paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 (10.35 oz. ) can of 98% fat free heathy request cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 2 cups chopped broccoli, fresh or frozen
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Place rice and rice seansong packet into a large mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over rice.
- Add chicken broth and soup and onion mix. Mix until all ingredients have been incorporated.
- Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place chicken pieces on top of rice mixture.
- Spread chopped broccoli over the top.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder over chicken.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 min to 2 hours , or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. (Mine takes 1.5 hours, but time may vary depending on oven and altitude.)
- Remove from oven and allow it to cool on the counter for about 10 minutes before serving. (This allows all the flavors to absorb and the sauce to thicken a bit more.)
Servings: Makes 6 (1/6th of the 9 x 13 dish or about 1 cup) servings
GREEN: 5 SmartPoints per serving
BLUE: 4 Smart Points per serving
PURPLE: 2 Smart Points per serving if using wild or brown rice or 4 SmartPoints if using the Rice-a-Roni long grain & wild rice
Notes:
- If you are 2500 ft. above sea level you may need to increase the water or chicken broth to 2 cups- since broth/water evaporates at a higher altitude.
- Above 2,500 feet, the atmosphere becomes much drier. The air has less oxygen and atmospheric pressure, so cooking takes longer. Moisture quickly evaporates from everything.
- You can make this the night before-cover with foil, refrigerate, and cook the next. You would want to increase the cooking time by 15-20 minutes since the casserole will be very cold.

Have you ever tried this as a freezer meal? I wondered if you could just prep it then freeze it or if you should cook it first. Thank you for all your recipes

Hi Essie,
Yes, this could easily be a freezer meal. Just assemble and freeze. Do not bake. Thaw overnight in the fridge and cook as directed. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
Thank you!

This came out very tasty!! I thawed the veggies the night before and included peas/carrots to add more bulk. My fiancé really enjoyed it and I love that it’s a hearty low point point main! Planning to add it in the rotation. Thanks for your delicious recipes.

Does this need to be covered with foil while baking? Thanks in advance.

Hi Nikki,
No, I don’t cover it with foil while cooking-
The foil can sometimes trap extra moisture which can cause the casserole to be watery.
