Broccoli Rice Cheese and Chicken Casserole
Broccoli Rice Cheese and Chicken Casserole combines cooked chicken, chopped broccoli, and white rice in a creamy mixture of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and seasonings. One cup of the cheddar is mixed into the filling before it goes into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish, which helps the casserole hold together and bake evenly.
The dish is finished with the remaining cheddar on top, then baked uncovered at 350°F until hot and bubbly. Letting it rest for 5 minutes before serving helps the casserole settle after it comes out of the oven.

Chicken and Bacon Fried Rice
Chicken and Bacon Fried Rice starts with cold cooked rice heated in a large skillet after the eggs are scrambled and set aside. The rice is broken into chunks, stirred with bacon grease or oil, then coated with soy sauce and sesame oil so the grains pick up flavor as they cook.
Cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and frozen peas are added next, along with the reserved eggs and sliced green onions. A final sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper finishes the skillet, and the ingredients are folded gently so everything stays evenly distributed.

Caramel Marshmallow Rice Krispie Balls Recipe: A Sweet and Chewy Treat
Caramel Marshmallow Rice Krispie Balls turn marshmallows into a sweet coated bite using a smooth caramel mixture made with Kraft caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Each marshmallow is dipped with a toothpick, then rolled in Rice Krispies cereal so the coating clings all around.
A parchment-lined baking sheet keeps the pieces from sticking while they set. After the toothpicks are removed, the treats cool for 30 minutes to firm up, and they can be served plain or finished with melted chocolate drizzle or sprinkles.

Chicken and Rice Soup
Chicken and Rice Soup begins with butter, onion, celery, and carrots cooked until softened, then garlic and flour are added to build a base before the broth goes in. The chicken broth is stirred in slowly to prevent clumps, and Italian seasoning is added before the soup comes to a gentle boil.
Uncooked white rice and bite-sized chicken pieces simmer together under a cover until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked. Heavy cream is stirred in near the end, then the soup is left uncovered to thicken slightly without boiling hard after the cream is added.

Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Casserole
Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Casserole uses a long grain and wild rice mix as the base, combined with sautéed onion and celery, cream of chicken soup, cooked chicken, sour cream, heavy cream, and garlic powder. The rice is cooked first according to the package directions, which gives the casserole a sturdy texture before the rest of the mixture is assembled.
After the filling is transferred to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, grated cheddar is sprinkled over the top. The casserole bakes uncovered until bubbly and golden brown, then rests briefly so it can be served neatly.
