Show ingredients
- rice – 1 cup;
- canned corn – 1 can;
- chicken fillet – 400 grams;
- egg – 4 pieces;
- cream – 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon;
- dill – 1 bunch;
- salt, pepper – to taste;
- butter – 10 grams;
- water – 5 cups.
Preparation
- Rice is the product we will focus on first. If you have a small family of two to three people, then take less rice. Half a cup will be enough.
- The rice needs to be rinsed in a large amount of water to wash away the excess starch. After that, pour five cups of water over it and send it to cook.
- We won't wait for it to turn into porridge, but will stop cooking when the rice is almost done, but just a little undercooked. We will rinse it. The rice is prepared.
- Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces.
- Combine the chopped fillet with the rice.
- With the corn, it’s even simpler. Open the can, drain the liquid, and add the corn kernels to the rice and chicken.
- The amount of salt and pepper depends on your taste preferences. Some people like their food saltier, while others prefer less pepper. So adjust this aspect to your liking.
- Next, mix our products so that the chicken and corn are evenly distributed in the rice.
- All that's left is to combine three eggs with a tablespoon of thick cream. If the cream is liquid, use a couple of additional tablespoons. The cream can also be substituted with three tablespoons of sour cream.
- The eggs and cream need to be beaten. In this case, it’s better to use a mixer.
- Add the chopped dill to the beaten eggs.
- Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients and mix. Do this carefully.
- The preparation for the future casserole is ready. Prepare the baking dish by greasing it with butter.
- Place our semi-finished products into the dish.
- Make the final steps. Mix the remaining egg with a teaspoon of cream and beat it with a fork.
- Drizzle the mixture over the top of the casserole. We do this so that our casserole acquires a nice crust during baking.
- The rice casserole will bake in the oven for no more than forty minutes. After that, the casserole can be taken out of the oven.
- The rice pudding casserole in the oven is ready. Let the casserole cool for a bit, then cut it into portioned pieces and enjoy this delicious dish. Bon appétit.
