I found this on the Paula Deen website and made it tonight. It was SOOOOO GOOD! I've come to realize that you really can't go wrong with a Paula Deen recipe. And the best part - this is a healthier version of the original!
You can find the recipe online here or view below. I added some pictures, too! :)
Bobby’s Lighter Chicken and Rice Casserole
By Bobby Deen
542 fewer calories
42g less fat
Ingredients:
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (8-ounce) package cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed fat-free cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup lowfat (1%) milk
2 cups cooked cubed chicken
1 (8.8-ounce) package cooked long grain and wild rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup French fried onions
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 1 1/2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the beans; return to a boil and cook until just crisp-tender, 3 – 4 minutes. Drain.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 6 – 8 minutes.
Whisk together the soup and milk in a small bowl. Add the soup mixture to the mushroom mixture, stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in the beans, cooked chicken, rice, and salt. Spoon into the baking dish. Sprinkle the fried onions over the casserole and bake, uncovered, until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden, 20 – 25 minutes.
