This creamy French onion dip chicken and rice casserole topped with crispy potato chips is perfect for game day or whenever you want a comforting meal the whole family will love.
Ingreadients :
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice
- 1 ½ cups coarsely crushed crinkle-cut potato chips
- Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Step by Step :
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender and brown throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Combine cream cheese, yogurt, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in chicken, rice and the cooked onions. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with crushed potato chips and cover with foil.
- Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the topping is crispy and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Garnish with chives, if desired.
