Healthy Veggie Chicken Wild Rice Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Veggie Chicken Wild Rice Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your casserole comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and toss in your diced carrots along with a tablespoon of water.

3. Step 3

   Cover the bowl snugly with plastic wrap, but don’t forget to poke a few holes for steam to escape.

4. Step 4

   Pop it in the microwave on high for about a minute, then drain any excess water to keep your dish from getting soggy.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, wild rice (don’t forget the seasoning packet!), cooked carrots, chopped mushrooms, diced onion, thawed peas, and vibrant chopped spinach.

6. Step 6

   Pour in the chicken broth and creamy mushroom soup, then stir everything together until it’s well blended and looking delicious.

7. Step 7

   Now, transfer this hearty mixture into your prepared baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil to keep all those flavors locked in.

8. Step 8

   Bake the casserole, covered, for 45 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and let it bake for another 45 minutes, or until it’s bubbling and golden.

9. Step 9

   Just before you’re ready to serve, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese on top and watch it melt into a gooey, cheesy delight.
