When I think of comfort food. I think of Chicken and Rice. It was one of my mom’s go to meals and so I can’t help but get a little nostalgic when I taste it. My kids and husband love it so I have been able to have fun with it in the next generation.
It is a very easy meal, with very little prep so it is perfect for a busy night.
You will need:
- 1 can cream of chicken soup or substitute
- 2 cans of water
- 2 cans minute rice
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/2 c. frozen peas
- 1 Tablespoon dried onion
- 1/2 stick of butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Mix together the cream chicken soup, two cans of water, peas and 2 cans of minute rice in a casserole dish that fits in your microwave. Add the two chicken breast to the top of the mixture. Pour the melted butter on top of the chicken and season the chicken with the salt and paprika,
Microwave for 30 minutes every 15 minutes turn dish unless your microwave is a turning one. Pull the chicken out of the dish and dice up. Stir the chicken back up and serve topped with a little paprika.
What is one of your favorite comfort foods?
That is almost exactly like my mom's recipe! Except she also added those frozen cubed carrots to it also.
This looks so delicious! I love rice…any starch, really. haha I am pinning for later!
I'd say my favorite comfort food is macaroni and beef. My Mom never made it while I was growing up and I honestly don't know where I ate it first–but I love it!
Yum! This looks super easy and yummy. Thanks for sharing!
This looks like such a perfect meal on a crisp fall night. I love chicken and rice!
This does sound like a comforting meal. I love it when you've got awhile meal in one.
That looks really good. I love that it is so fast and easy to do.

This is a far quicker version of the chicken and rice that I grew up with, but it's pretty close otherwise. I think I know what's going on my menu for next week–thanks for the memory jog!
My favorite comfort foods are boiled buckwheat with butter and salt and homemade chicken noodle soup. Actually, I have so many comfort foods, I will run out of space.
What a great quick and easy dish for a weeknight! Great when you can get the hubby and kids on board too 🙂
This looks like such an easy simple meal to make. I like chicken and rice together quite a bit. In fact, one of my comfort foods is chicken perlo.
My mom makes something like this. I have tried to mimic her recipe but havent figured it out yet. You're right though, super easy!
Substitute this with Quorn and this would be the perfect comfort food mmm I am salivating already!
This sounds good! My mom use to make something similar when I was growing up.
This looks amazing and delicious!
