    7 Ingredient Gluten Free Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

    Published: Mar 14, 2021 · Modified: Apr 3, 2022 by burntapple · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Weeknight casserole with wild rice, onion, chicken, cream, green beans and provolone cheese. This recipe can easily be adapted to be dairy free in addition to gluten free. It's ready in 30 minutes and only uses 7 ingredients.

    Do your days sound like this? Running in the door from work and trying to lock yourself in the bathroom for five minutes of peace and quiet before you have to run the kids to practices and somehow get dinner on the table by the time you get everyone back home again?

    This meal will be a lifesaver. It tastes amazing and has a nice mild flavor. I love it for busy weeknights.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Rice:

    You will need about 3 cups of cooked wild rice. For ease, you can use 1 box of Zatarains Wild Rice Mix (gluten free as of this writing). For this recipe we cooked Lundberg Wild Rice.

    Cheese:

    We recommend using a mild cheese like provolone or mozzarella. You can substitute dairy free cheese if you would like to make this recipe dairy free.

    Vegetables:

    Broccoli or green beans work great in this recipe!

    Cream:

    Just use a cream or heavy whipping cream. Since I can't have milk and my kids struggle with plain milk you can substitute a lactose free or non dairy creamer in place of the heavy whipping cream.

    Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup:

    This can be hard to find but we found that Pacific Foods offers a gluten free cream of chicken soup. I believe that Walmart also offers their own private label gluten free soup. Full Flavor Foods offers a gluten free and lactose free soup. But I haven't been able to find a full dairy free cream of chicken soup. Feel free to substitute chicken broth in place of the cream of chicken.

    Substitutions:

    • FODMAP--simply substitute the onion for green onion in this recipe and use chicken broth and non dairy creamer or non dairy whipping cream in place the heavy whipping cream. You can keep the cheese.
    • GLUTEN FREE: Follow the recipe instructions in the recipe notes.
    • DAIRY FREE: Use dairy free cheese, a gluten or lactose free cream of chicken soup and a non dairy whipping cream.
