Meet Stick-Of-Butter Chicken & Rice: The TikTok one-pot casserole (by @melissajorealrecipes) I’ll be making long after the app is gone. Stick-of-Butter Chicken & Rice is exactly what you’d expect it to be — chicken cooked with an entire stick of butter along with with rice, fresh mushrooms, canned soup and cheese.
This one-pot casserole comes together in 5 minutes and only calls for a handful of ingredients, most of which are pantry staples or seasonings. The base of the dish — besides chicken, rice and butter, of course — is condensed French onion soup and beef consommé. Here is the recipe and prep, amigos:
INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless and skinless chicken thighs
2 cups rice
6 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 can condensed French onion soup
2 cans beef consomme
1 stick of salted butter
1 cup of pecorino romano cheese
Paprika, garlic, onion, salt and pepper to season chicken
PREPARTION:
In this order, you’ll add 2 cups of white rice (uncooked), 6 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1 can of condensed French onion soup mixed with 2 10.5-ounce cans of beef consomme, 1 stick of butter chopped up, and 1 cup of pecorino romano to a baking dish.
Next, season the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a 350-degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Once cooked, remove the foil, fluff the rice, and crank the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Put the dish back in the oven, this time uncovered, for another 8 to 10 minutes — or until the chicken begins to brown.
I like to serve it with an extra veggie or salad on the side to really round out the meal. No matter how you serve it, though, it’s the perfect easy weeknight dinner that you can throw together in a pinch. It’s no small wonder the recipe has gone viral!
