What types of rice can I use in this recipe?

Feel free to try other types of rice mixes, especially if they have seasonings that you really like. However, do make sure that the cook time on the box is about the same as the Rice-A-Roni we recommend here. If you choose rice that cooks much faster, or much slower, then your no peek chicken casserole might not turn out. The rice might be overcooked or undercooked.



What types of chicken can I use in this recipe?

Stick with boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. The rice requires a specific cooking duration in order to turn out fluffy and creamy. That duration -- about 1 hour and 45 minutes -- works really well for boneless skinless chicken breasts, but it might not work for other cuts of chicken. Chicken breast tenders, for example, may be dry by the time the rice is cooked. Bone-in chicken could be undercooked, since it takes longer to bake than boneless chicken.

Can I use other types of soup?

Yes! If someone in your family isn't a fan of celery or mushrooms, you can substitute one or both cans of soup for cream of chicken. You can also feel free to use low sodium versions of any of these soups.

This worked out wonderfully...I thought it might be too salty, but it wasn't I prepared green beans as a side dish (without salt) and mixed them into the finished dish. I also marinated the chicken briefly in lemon juice to cut the saltiness. The dish itself came out with plenty of delicious sauce, delectable rice, and scrumptious chicken...bravo!

Made this for meal prep this week. It is SO satisfying. My lunch portion is never enough!

The moist chicken and the wild rice with sauce set this dish over-the-top!

So easy to make and the chicken was so tasty - i kept going back for more bites!

This chicken is moist and juicy, but honestly the star for me was the wild rice and sauce. It was SO delicious!

This is similar to a recipe I made for my family as a teenager many years ago. Still just as easy and have always loved the rice!
