Chicken and Rice Casseroles are such an easy dinner. Even better, you can make so many delicious spins on this casserole. I particularly love this Cajun spin. The sausage adds a great texture, and the spices are perfection.

The Best Cajun Seasoning

The key to this recipe is my Cajun Seasoning . It is a delicious blend of paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes.

I love making my own seasoning mixes because you can control things like salt and heat. If your family doesn’t like spice, cut down on the cayenne pepper and leave out the red pepper flakes.

This recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of my Cajun Seasoning. That is the same amount as my small batch recipe in the homemade Cajun Seasoning post.

Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

I have a great recipe for homemade condensed cream of chicken soup that works perfectly in this recipe. It tastes better than what you can buy from the grocery store and is done in about 25 minutes.

All that being said, if you are in a pinch, grab the can. Family dinner together is more important than everything being from scratch.

Store any leftovers of this casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the portion you plan to eat in the microwave or in a small skillet over low heat until heated through.
