This creamy chicken and rice with veggies takes only one pan and is a entree the whole family will enjoy.\nTry our\n30 minute lemon chicken rice soup recipe\n, too!\nOne thing I love about being home is getting back to the basics of\ncooking dinner\n.\nJust cooking dinner to cook dinner.\nNo recipe testing or worrying about fancy ingredients. I’ve found myself pulling out classic recipes from my recipe box. Handwritten recipes for treats like\ncaramel corn\nthat I hadn’t made since the kids were little.\nWhether you have young kids, no kids or teenagers as I do, everyone is in need of quick dinners and comfort food! This one-pot creamy chicken and rice casserole is ready for the table in about 25 minutes. Just as quick as our\nchicken stroganoff\n!\nWhat sauce is good with chicken and rice?\nMany times, chicken and rice dinners call for a\ncream of chicken soup\nsauce, but in this recipe we leave out the condensed soup. The creamy sauce is made from chicken broth, sour cream and fresh shredded cheese. Real ingredients make a deliciously creamy sauce.\nIngredients for Creamy Chicken and Rice\nYellow onion\n. You could also use a sweet white onion. Red onions are stronger so may not go well in this dish.\nChicken breasts\n. We like to buy thin cut boneless and skinless chicken breasts so that they are easy to slice into bite-size pieces and cook quickly. Or you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs.\nLong grain white rice\n. Basmati rice, jasmine rice or brown rice will work well.\nSeasonings\n. Garlic powder, thyme, and salt. Want more flavor? Try black pepper, onion powder, a dash of paprika, Italian seasoning, and even fresh minced garlic cloves.\nLow-sodium chicken broth\n. If you are not using low-sodium chicken broth, I would recommend tasting your dish before you add any salt. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use water, chicken stock, or chicken bouillon.\nFrozen mixed vegetables\n. Or if you have fresh vegetables like broccoli florets or even asparagus, add that! Clean out that freezer of all those little bags of veggies.\nSour cream\n. Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this chicken and rice dish. Use full fat for the best flavor and texture, but if you’d like to reduce the fat you can try reduced fat sour cream. You can also substitute the sour cream with heavy whipping cream or whole milk, but the mix may be thinner and “soupier”.\nCheese\n. I used sharp cheddar for this recipe. It’s my go-to cheese for casseroles and one pot dishes. You can substitute the cheese for your favorite type of cheese (how about Parmesan cheese?). Feel free to mix and match based on preference.\nBut one thing….grate your own cheese. Your final product will be creamier this way.\nHow to Make Creamy Chicken and Rice\nAdd butter and onion into a Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat and cook until onions are translucent and tender, about 3 minutes. Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes. It’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked yet. It will continue cooking later on.\nStir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.\nStir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though.\nTake pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese. Return the pan to stove and over low heat, let the mixture cook until cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.\nSide Dishes for Creamy Chicken and Rice\nCreamy chicken and rice is a cheesy dish that some will think is rich. This means that normally\na healthier side pairs well with this dish\n. You can make a classic and\nsimple side salad\nor add in a\nsteamed vegetable\n. Some great options for vegetables include\nbroccoli\n,\ngreen beans\n,\ncarrots\n, or peas.\nStorage Instructions\nYou can store this creamy chicken and rice\nin the refrigerator for 3-4 days\nas long as it is stored in an airtight container.\nI would not recommend freezing this meal.\nThe sour cream will give it an odd texture once it thaws.\nServings\n4\nPrep Time\n5\nminutes\nCook Time\n20\nminutes\nTotal Time\n25\nminutes\n1\ncup\ndiced yellow onion\n(about 1 medium onion)\n2\ntablespoons\nsalted butter\n2\nchicken breasts\n(cut into 1-2” pieces)\n1\ncup\nlong grain white rice\n(uncooked)\n½\nteaspoon\ngarlic powder\n½\nteaspoon\ndried thyme or fresh thyme\n½\nteaspoon\nsalt\n3\ncups\nlow-sodium chicken broth\n8\nounces\nfrozen mixed vegetables\n3\/4\ncup\nsour cream\n1\ncup\nsharp cheddar cheese\n(shredded)\nparsley\n(optional garnish)\nAdd butter and onion into a skillet over medium high heat and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.\n2 tablespoons salted butter\n,\n1 cup diced yellow onion\nAdd in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes.

The creamy sauce is made from chicken broth, sour cream and fresh shredded cheese. Real ingredients make a deliciously creamy sauce.\n\n## **Ingredients for Creamy Chicken and Rice**\n![Ingredients for creamy chicken and rice on a table](https:\/\/www.tastesoflizzyt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ingredients-for-creamy-chicken-and-rice.jpg)\n\n- **Yellow onion**. You could also use a sweet white onion. Red onions are stronger so may not go well in this dish.\n- **Chicken breasts**. We like to buy thin cut boneless and skinless chicken breasts so that they are easy to slice into bite-size pieces and cook quickly. Or you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs.\n- **Long grain white rice**. Basmati rice, jasmine rice or brown rice will work well.\n- **Seasonings**. Garlic powder, thyme, and salt. Want more flavor? Try black pepper, onion powder, a dash of paprika, Italian seasoning, and even fresh minced garlic cloves.\n- **Low-sodium chicken broth**. If you are not using low-sodium chicken broth, I would recommend tasting your dish before you add any salt. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use water, chicken stock, or chicken bouillon.\n- **Frozen mixed vegetables**. Or if you have fresh vegetables like broccoli florets or even asparagus, add that! Clean out that freezer of all those little bags of veggies.\n- **Sour cream**. Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this chicken and rice dish. Use full fat for the best flavor and texture, but if you’d like to reduce the fat you can try reduced fat sour cream. You can also substitute the sour cream with heavy whipping cream or whole milk, but the mix may be thinner and “soupier”.\n- **Cheese**. I used sharp cheddar for this recipe. It’s my go-to cheese for casseroles and one pot dishes. You can substitute the cheese for your favorite type of cheese (how about Parmesan cheese?). Feel free to mix and match based on preference. ***But one thing….grate your own cheese. Your final product will be creamier this way.***\n\n## **How to Make Creamy Chicken and Rice**\n- Add butter and onion into a Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat and cook until onions are translucent and tender, about 3 minutes. Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes. It’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked yet. It will continue cooking later on.\n- Stir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.\n- Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though.\n- Take pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese.

Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes. It’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked yet. It will continue cooking later on. Stir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though. Take pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese. Return the pan to stove and over low heat, let the mixture cook until cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. Side Dishes for Creamy Chicken and Rice Creamy chicken and rice is a cheesy dish that some will think is rich. This means that normally a healthier side pairs well with this dish . You can make a classic and simple side salad or add in a steamed vegetable . Some great options for vegetables include broccoli , green beans , carrots , or peas. Storage Instructions You can store this creamy chicken and rice in the refrigerator for 3-4 days as long as it is stored in an airtight container. I would not recommend freezing this meal. The sour cream will give it an odd texture once it thaws.

This creamy chicken and rice with veggies takes only one pan and is a entree the whole family will enjoy. Try our [30 minute lemon chicken rice soup recipe](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/lemon-chicken-rice-soup/), too\! ![Creamy chicken and rice with veggies in a skillet with a spoon](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice_-8.jpg) One thing I love about being home is getting back to the basics of [cooking dinner](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/category/recipes/main-dish-recipes/). *Just cooking dinner to cook dinner.* No recipe testing or worrying about fancy ingredients. I’ve found myself pulling out classic recipes from my recipe box. Handwritten recipes for treats like [caramel corn](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/melt-in-your-mouth-caramel-corn/) that I hadn’t made since the kids were little. Whether you have young kids, no kids or teenagers as I do, everyone is in need of quick dinners and comfort food! This one-pot creamy chicken and rice casserole is ready for the table in about 25 minutes. Just as quick as our [chicken stroganoff](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/chicken-stroganoff/#wprm-recipe-container-74813)\! ## Why you’ll love this creamy chicken and rice recipe: - ready in less than 30 minutes, just like our [chicken stir fry](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/chicken-stir-fry/)\! - one-pot chicken dinner, so less dishes\! - pantry staples such as rice and chicken broth (and no cream of chicken soup!) - frozen veggies - cheesy and creamy sauce that is easy to make, like our [creamy chicken and gnocchi bake](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/creamy-chicken-and-gnocchi-bake/) You may also love our [Mexican chicken and rice](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/mexican-chicken-and-rice/) and [broccoli rice casserole](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/broccoli-rice-casserole/). ## What sauce is good with chicken and rice? Many times, chicken and rice dinners call for a [cream of chicken soup](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/cream-of-chicken-soup/) sauce, but in this recipe we leave out the condensed soup. The creamy sauce is made from chicken broth, sour cream and fresh shredded cheese. Real ingredients make a deliciously creamy sauce. ## Ingredients for Creamy Chicken and Rice ![Ingredients for creamy chicken and rice on a table](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Ingredients for creamy chicken and rice on a table](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ingredients-for-creamy-chicken-and-rice.jpg) - Yellow onion. You could also use a sweet white onion. Red onions are stronger so may not go well in this dish. - Chicken breasts. We like to buy thin cut boneless and skinless chicken breasts so that they are easy to slice into bite-size pieces and cook quickly. Or you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. - Long grain white rice. Basmati rice, jasmine rice or brown rice will work well. - Seasonings. Garlic powder, thyme, and salt. Want more flavor? Try black pepper, onion powder, a dash of paprika, Italian seasoning, and even fresh minced garlic cloves. - Low-sodium chicken broth. If you are not using low-sodium chicken broth, I would recommend tasting your dish before you add any salt. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use water, chicken stock, or chicken bouillon. - Frozen mixed vegetables. Or if you have fresh vegetables like broccoli florets or even asparagus, add that! Clean out that freezer of all those little bags of veggies. - Sour cream. Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this chicken and rice dish. Use full fat for the best flavor and texture, but if you’d like to reduce the fat you can try reduced fat sour cream. You can also substitute the sour cream with heavy whipping cream or whole milk, but the mix may be thinner and “soupier”. - Cheese. I used sharp cheddar for this recipe. It’s my go-to cheese for casseroles and one pot dishes. You can substitute the cheese for your favorite type of cheese (how about Parmesan cheese?). Feel free to mix and match based on preference. *But one thing….grate your own cheese. Your final product will be creamier this way.* ## How to Make Creamy Chicken and Rice - Add butter and onion into a Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat and cook until onions are translucent and tender, about 3 minutes. Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes. It’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked yet. It will continue cooking later on. - Stir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. - Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though. - Take pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese. Return the pan to stove and over low heat, let the mixture cook until cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. ![Collage of how to make creamy chicken and rice in a skillet](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Collage of how to make creamy chicken and rice in a skillet](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice-collage-1200x1200.jpg) ## Side Dishes for Creamy Chicken and Rice Creamy chicken and rice is a cheesy dish that some will think is rich. This means that normally a healthier side pairs well with this dish. You can make a classic and simple side salad or add in a steamed vegetable. Some great options for vegetables include [broccoli](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/paleo-broccoli-slaw-recipe/), [green beans](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/christmas-green-beans-with-toasted-pecans-recipe/), [carrots](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/roasted-carrots/), or peas. ![Spooning creamy chicken and rice on a plate](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201500'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Spooning creamy chicken and rice on a plate](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice_-12.jpg) ## Storage Instructions You can store this creamy chicken and rice in the refrigerator for 3-4 days as long as it is stored in an airtight container.

I just made this last night and it was DELICIOUS. I swapped the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt for extra protein and it did not disappoint. It had a very warm and comforting taste of a casserole but knowing it’s a bit healthier made it taste even better. Thanks for the recipe\! 0 Reply View Replies (1) Alison 1 year ago ![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=) Alison. I changed the sour cream to coconut cream ( as I’m Dairy free) I used Manchago sheep cheese. It was a very easy tasty meal, that I certainly will be using again. thank you. 0 Reply Missey Hobbs 1 year ago ![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=) HelIo, I finally had the opportunity to make this recipe and I must say it’s truly delicious. I appreciate how easily you can prepare everything and done in less than an hour. It’s good to know that you can prepare a quick and delicious meal that includes the protein, starch and vegetables. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!!!\! 0 Reply Paula S 3 years ago ![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=) Great recipe. I used brown rice and increased the broth by 1/2 cup and simmered for 45 minutes. 0 Reply Leah H Kesler 5 years ago ![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=) YUMMM 0 Reply t hopkins 5 years ago I wonder if it would work if I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Readable Markdown	Easy dinner in under 30 minutes. This creamy chicken and rice with veggies takes only one pan and is a entree the whole family will enjoy. Try our [30 minute lemon chicken rice soup recipe](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/lemon-chicken-rice-soup/), too\! ![Creamy chicken and rice with veggies in a skillet with a spoon](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice_-8.jpg) One thing I love about being home is getting back to the basics of [cooking dinner](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/category/recipes/main-dish-recipes/). *Just cooking dinner to cook dinner.* No recipe testing or worrying about fancy ingredients. I’ve found myself pulling out classic recipes from my recipe box. Handwritten recipes for treats like [caramel corn](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/melt-in-your-mouth-caramel-corn/) that I hadn’t made since the kids were little. Whether you have young kids, no kids or teenagers as I do, everyone is in need of quick dinners and comfort food! This one-pot creamy chicken and rice casserole is ready for the table in about 25 minutes. Just as quick as our [chicken stroganoff](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/chicken-stroganoff/#wprm-recipe-container-74813)\! ## What sauce is good with chicken and rice? Many times, chicken and rice dinners call for a [cream of chicken soup](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/cream-of-chicken-soup/) sauce, but in this recipe we leave out the condensed soup. The creamy sauce is made from chicken broth, sour cream and fresh shredded cheese. Real ingredients make a deliciously creamy sauce. ## Ingredients for Creamy Chicken and Rice ![Ingredients for creamy chicken and rice on a table](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ingredients-for-creamy-chicken-and-rice.jpg) - Yellow onion. You could also use a sweet white onion. Red onions are stronger so may not go well in this dish. - Chicken breasts. We like to buy thin cut boneless and skinless chicken breasts so that they are easy to slice into bite-size pieces and cook quickly. Or you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. - Long grain white rice. Basmati rice, jasmine rice or brown rice will work well. - Seasonings. Garlic powder, thyme, and salt. Want more flavor? Try black pepper, onion powder, a dash of paprika, Italian seasoning, and even fresh minced garlic cloves. - Low-sodium chicken broth. If you are not using low-sodium chicken broth, I would recommend tasting your dish before you add any salt. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use water, chicken stock, or chicken bouillon. - Frozen mixed vegetables. Or if you have fresh vegetables like broccoli florets or even asparagus, add that! Clean out that freezer of all those little bags of veggies. - Sour cream. Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this chicken and rice dish. Use full fat for the best flavor and texture, but if you’d like to reduce the fat you can try reduced fat sour cream. You can also substitute the sour cream with heavy whipping cream or whole milk, but the mix may be thinner and “soupier”. - Cheese. I used sharp cheddar for this recipe. It’s my go-to cheese for casseroles and one pot dishes. You can substitute the cheese for your favorite type of cheese (how about Parmesan cheese?). Feel free to mix and match based on preference. *But one thing….grate your own cheese. Your final product will be creamier this way.* ## How to Make Creamy Chicken and Rice - Add butter and onion into a Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat and cook until onions are translucent and tender, about 3 minutes. Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes. It’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked yet. It will continue cooking later on. - Stir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. - Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though. - Take pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese. Return the pan to stove and over low heat, let the mixture cook until cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. ![Collage of how to make creamy chicken and rice in a skillet](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice-collage-1200x1200.jpg) ## Side Dishes for Creamy Chicken and Rice Creamy chicken and rice is a cheesy dish that some will think is rich. This means that normally a healthier side pairs well with this dish. You can make a classic and simple side salad or add in a steamed vegetable. Some great options for vegetables include [broccoli](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/paleo-broccoli-slaw-recipe/), [green beans](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/christmas-green-beans-with-toasted-pecans-recipe/), [carrots](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/roasted-carrots/), or peas. ![Spooning creamy chicken and rice on a plate](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice_-12.jpg) ## Storage Instructions You can store this creamy chicken and rice in the refrigerator for 3-4 days as long as it is stored in an airtight container. I would not recommend freezing this meal. The sour cream will give it an odd texture once it thaws. ![Creamy chicken and rice with veggies in a skillet with a spoon](https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/creamy-chicken-and-rice_-9-268x268.jpg) Servings 4 Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Total Time 25 minutes *** - 1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1 medium onion) - 2 tablespoons salted butter - 2 chicken breasts (cut into 1-2” pieces) - 1 cup [long grain white rice](https://amzn.to/3u09V0I) (uncooked) - ½ teaspoon [garlic powder](https://amzn.to/41ZAb7S) - ½ teaspoon dried thyme or fresh thyme - ½ teaspoon [salt](https://amzn.to/48A9tFt) - 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth - 8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables - 3/4 cup sour cream - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded) - parsley (optional garnish) - Add butter and onion into a skillet over medium high heat and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. 2 tablespoons salted butter, 1 cup diced yellow onion - Add in chicken and cook until chicken is opaque, about 3 more minutes.
