A delightful and easy-to-make chicken and rice casserole with a savory twist.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, mushrooms, cream, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Spread the rice mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Use a spatula to level the surface for even cooking.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
Arrange the chicken evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Brush the chicken with the remaining Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with paprika and thyme.
Ensure the chicken is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Bake uncovered for 50 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy your savory chicken and mushroom rice casserole.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
