Pin This RecipeI found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. I immediately knew I had to try it because it combines three of my favorite foods – chicken, rice-a-roni and French fried onions! This was super quick and easy. I used rotisserie chicken and this was ready in no time flat. We both really enjoyed this; especially the crunchy onions on top.

I added some chopped bell pepper and petite diced tomatoes and it was really good!
The first time I made this was for my daughter’s family to have when they returned from a road trip. I added some broccoli. Everyone raved about it, and now it’s a regular. I later tried it at home using the beef flavored rice-a-Roni, cream of mushroom soup, ground beef and broccoli. Also very good!
Thanks!!!
Do you put milk or water in the cream of chicken soup
no
Best way to reheat? Making it for a family in need.
Microwave
Added some frozen broccoli and a tad of Tony’s with leftover rotisserie chicken; easy fast & cheap!
We love this recipe. I make it about every 2 weeks. It is so easy.
Subbed cream of chicken for cream of onion and it’s my husbands new favorite dish!
I know its just me but do you mix the condensed cream of chicken soup with any milk or water or just use straight out of the can ?
No
Do you cook the rice first ? I t think I goofed , did not quite understand I mixed it then put in oven
Yes – you make the rice-a-roni per the package instructions
