Updated November 2, 2016

Ingredients

  • 2
    small carrots, shredded (1 cup)
  • 2
    tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2
    packages (6 oz each) fast-cooking chicken and wild rice mix
  • 4
    cups boiling water
  • 8
    boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 lb)
  • 4
    slices (1/8 inch thick) cooked ham, cut in half
  • 4
    slices (1 oz each) Swiss cheese, cut in half

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In baking dish, stir together carrots, butter and rice mix and water. Arrange chicken on rice mixture. Top each breast with ham.
  • 2
    Cover tightly with foil; bake 55 to 60 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
  • 3
    Place cheese on ham. Bake uncovered 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

  • Other rice mixes of a similar size can be used in this recipe, but be sure to look for fast-cooking mixes, which cook in less than 15 minutes.
  • You can jazz up this casserole by adding either 1/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries or a 4.5-ounce jar of sliced mushrooms, drained, with the rice mix.
