Luke Bryan’s easy chicken casserole recipe is one that’s sure to become a family favorite. Seasoned chicken is combined with rice, black beans, and Red Gold® tomatoes, then covered in cheese and baked up to make a fantastic comfort food dinner!
Disclosure: I partnered with Red Gold Tomatoes to bring you this easy chicken casserole recipe post. I was given free product, but no further compensation. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
Last fall, Luke Bryan toured the country in his concert series, Farm Tour 2015. As part of the promotion for that tour, Luke shared his favorite chicken casserole recipe with Red Gold tomatoes. Red Gold was kind enough to share it with us, and they invited me to tour their facility. It was an amazing experience and I have included some photos at the end of this post.
But for now, I want to make sure that you have this easy chicken casserole recipe in your hands.
Besides the fact that it’s so easy to make and full of delicious flavors, I love how versatile this recipe is. It lends itself really well to using up the leftovers for other quick weeknight meals. If you have any leftovers, that is! It would be the perfect filling for burritos or tacos, or you could fill tomatoes or bell peppers with it.
Oh, and if you don’t want to cook up the chicken for this dish, you could get a store bought rotisserie chicken, remove the skin, and chop it up. See what I mean about versatile?
I think you’ll love this easy chicken casserole recipe!
