Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked wild rice
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, frozen peas and carrots, chopped onion, thyme, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and sliced mushrooms until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole mixture.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can cook the wild rice and chicken a day ahead to speed up assembly.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the chicken broth with dry white wine.
  • If you prefer a cheesier dish, add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the main mixture before topping.
