French Onion Hen and Rice Casserole

French onion chicken and rice casserole brings the rich, savory flavor of French onion soup to an easy, cheesy dinner. Tender chicken, fluffy rice, melty provolone, and crispy fried onions all come together in one pan with just 10 minutes of prep.

French Onion Chicken and Rice Casserole Ingredients

• Chicken: Cut the breasts to be 1-inch in thickness so it cooks evenly. Chicken thighs also work!
• Broth: Use chicken broth if you prefer.
• Sour Cream: Gives it a creamy flavor! Use Greek yogurt or French onion dip.
• Provolone Cheese: Perfectly melty and complements the French onion flavors. Gruyère or mozzarella cheese can also be used.
• Crispy Fried Onions: This adds a delicious crunchy texture and even more French onion flavor!

How to Make French Onion Chicken and Rice Casserole

This casserole could not be much easier. Mix everything right in the baking dish, layer the chicken and toppings on top, then let the oven do the rest. If you love easy dinners like this, try my chicken and rice casserole or French onion chicken, too.

2. Sour Cream: Spread the sour cream evenly over each chicken breast.
3. Season: Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken.
4. Add the Toppings: Top with the provolone cheese and french fried onions. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
