If you grew up in Canada in the 80s or 90s, your mom or grandma made some version of this. A can of cream of mushroom soup from Campbell's, a cup of long-grain white rice, water or broth, bone-in chicken thighs seasoned with garlic powder and paprika. Everything goes in the baking dish raw — the rice cooks in the oven absorbing all the juices from the chicken. 350°F, covered for 1 hour, uncovered for 20 minutes to crisp the top. It's the most Canadian casserole that exists and it costs about $8 to feed a family of six.

Conseils de pro

  • 💡Don't rush the searing step — the browned bits on the bottom of the pan are pure concentrated flavour.
  • 💡Use a heavy-bottomed pan that distributes heat evenly. A Dutch oven from the Bay or a cast iron from Canadian Tire both work perfectly.
  • 💡Season aggressively — chicken absorbs flavour like a sponge, and under-seasoned chicken is the most common cooking mistake.

Variantes

  • 🔄Swap the primary protein for bone-in thighs if the recipe calls for breast — thighs are more forgiving and harder to overcook.
  • 🔄Add a splash of white wine or apple cider vinegar when deglazing for extra depth.
  • 🔄Make it dairy-free by using olive oil instead of butter and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
