During hectic evenings after work, when I feel exhausted, there’s nothing better than a simple and comforting meal that almost prepares itself. This No Peek Chicken Rice Casserole reminds me of the dinners I had as a child and is a great help for busy people. Originally a common dish in many homes in the Midwest, this meal is simple to make and filling. It guarantees a cozy and fulfilling dinner without requiring constant monitoring. Its name originates from the main rule: once it is inside the oven, you must not look!
This dish goes well with a basic salad and some cooked vegetables, which provide a fresh texture and important nutrients to the meal. If you want to treat yourself, enjoy it with some fresh, crunchy bread to soak up the tasty sauce. If you have extra time, you can also make roasted green beans or sautéed spinach to go with it.

Chicken and Rice Casserole Serves: 4-6 people
