Perfectly caramelized onions, tender chunks of chicken, creamy rice, and Swiss cheese make this an easy, flavorful, and cozy dinner the entire family will love.
We’re huge fans of French onion anything, whether it’s classic French onion soup, French onion beef casserole, or French onion grilled cheese. One of my personal favorites is French onion chicken, which is part of my inspiration for today’s recipe. Onions are caramelized in butter and oil and then stirred into a mixture of chicken and rice, before being topped with a very generous amount of Swiss cheese.
What makes this casserole one of our favorites? Well, there are quite a few things!
This casserole is made with caramelized onions, chicken, rice, and a few other simple ingredients.
Caramelizing the onions takes a bit of time (it’s worth it!) but the hands-on time for this recipe is quite minimal.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when making this French onion chicken casserole, as well as some ways to customize it.
Since this casserole is pretty savory and hearty, I often serve it with a simple side salad, wedge salad and/or sauteed green beans. With the chicken, onions, and rice, it can also definitely work as a complete dinner on its own.
