Ingredient Substitutions

If you want to switch things up and make No Peek Chicken and Rice even more exciting, feel free to experiment with different ingredients. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of skinless chicken breasts.
  • Substitute cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup for cream of mushroom soup. While the cream of celery soup, and others will work, cream of chicken soup is the common choice of those who do not eat mushrooms.
  • Experiment with different types of rice for the rice mixture, such as wild rice or brown rice. Brown rice is great for those who are more health-conscious. You might also use Minute Rice but may need to adjust the baking time by adding the rice later.
  • Add vegetables to the dish for an extra nutritional boost in this chicken casserole.
  • Use chicken broth or chicken stock instead of water. Remember that your sodium count will go up unless you use low-sodium chicken broth in your chicken recipes.
  • Some cooks love to throw in a pack of dry onion soup mix instead of the onion powder.
  • For a delicious change, top with shredded cheddar cheese just before the recipe is done. Or, instead of shredded cheddar cheese, you may like Colby Jack, or Mozzarella for this delicious casserole dish.
