HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Cook the wild rice blend according to package directions. This usually involves simmering 1 cup of rice in 3 cups of water or broth for 40-50 minutes until tender.

03

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked wild rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, frozen peas, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

04

Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

05

Bake for 30 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

06

Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.

07

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, sauté 1/2 cup of diced onion and 1 clove of minced garlic before adding them to the casserole mixture. You can also add a pinch of dried thyme or poultry seasoning.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use cooked turkey instead of chicken. Any blend of cream soups will work, such as two cans of cream of mushroom. For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
