Ingredients

¼ cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 6 ounce package long grain and wild rice
2 ¼ cups chicken broth
3 cups cooked chicken cubed or shredded
1 12 ounce package frozen french-style green beans, thawed
1 can 10 ¾ ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
¾ cups sliced almonds divided
1 jar 4 ounces diced pimientos, drained
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spritz a 9 x 13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the broth with the rice/wild rice and seasoning packet. Cover and bring the water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, simmering for 25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, green beans, soup, ½ cup of almonds, pimientos, pepper and garlic powder. Stir the rice.
Spoon into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining almonds.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

Let the casserole rest: After you pull it out of the oven, let the chicken almondine casserole sit for 5-7 minutes so that the flavors settle.

Make it ahead of time: Prepare the casserole and combine it in the dish but don't bake it until you're ready for it. Keep it in the fridge until then and let the dish come to room temperature before popping it in the oven.

Store it: You can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container. Heat the casserole in the microwave in intervals or in the oven on low. You may need to add a dash of water or broth so that it reheats to the perfect creamy texture.
