Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

c. white rice

bacon,

Onion, finely chopped

boneless, skinless chicken breasts,

olive oil

Ranch seasoning

chicken broth

heavy cream

c. shredded Cheddar

mozzarella

parsley

I followed the recipe except used just 2 cups chicken broth.  Casserole was delicious!

This is literally our favorite family recipe.  The one that all of us and LOVE.  We are always sad that there are no leftovers.  We prepare the recipe as written and one time had hard rice but all the other times has worked for us perfectly. Oh and I NEVER review anything, but this was too good not to.

So as many others have complained: the rice isn't fully cooked with these instructions. I've found that medium to short grain rice cooks beautifully however, long grain white rice can be uses.
I've been cooking this recipe for about 2 years and here is my tweak: 
Par-boil the long grain white rice for about 5 minutes
Add only 1.5-2 cups of broth since the rice is par boiled. 
Here is how to par-boil:
1 Wash the rice in cold water (optional) and place in a pot.
2 Add some water, about twice the level of the rice.
3 Set on the stove and leave to cook.
Note when the water starts boiling and leave to cook for more 5 minutes.
4 Pour the contents of the pot in a sieve.
5 Place the sieve (with the rice) in a bowl of cold water.
6 Rince the rice and change the water if necessary.
7 Leave in the sieve to drain off all the water.
The rice is now ready to cook!

I followed the recipe, but upped the temperature like someone in the comments suggested. I even cooked it for 20 minutes longer than it says to and the rice was still not cooked. It smells fantastic, but it is inedible.

It didn’t taste very nice , my mother who is usually kind wouldn’t eat it

This recipe did not work for me. I followed the recipe to a T. When serving it looked and smelled delicious. The chicken was nicely cooked, but as we all started eating we horribly realized that the rice was still hard. So the whole meal went to waste. It was sad though for it did smelled amazing.  I do not k ow if this happens because I used Jasmine rice but I was very sad it did not work.

I Increased the baking tempreature to 375 and it turned out just fine.  I also let it sit for 5 min before digging in. Also I used instant rice as well.

Turned out good. I used 1 and 3/4 cup broth and added broccoli.
