Casseroles take the pressure off making dinner every night for a large family. Casseroles that have most if not all food groups are even better and we have one right here with French Onion Chicken & Rice Casserole.
Chicken and rice and a classic combo, all it needed is cheese of course! Now that we have a ooey gooey casserole, we also need texture that's where covering the whole thing in crunchy, salty French's fried onions really is the cherry on top of this soon to be family favorite!

- 2 cups water
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped

- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
