To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook chicken and rice casserole using 8 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Everything, even the rice, cooks in a single baking dish so all you have to do is pop it into the oven. This yummy chicken and rice casserole needs to bake for a loooong time.
Steps to make Chicken and Rice Casserole:
- Cook the chicken in a liter of water with the salt, stock cube and butter for around 40-50 minutes on a medium to high heat.
- Once the chicken has cooked remove it from the pan and leave to one side to cool down.
- The rice will be boiled in the same water. Use your judgement as to how much water you'll need, as a lot of it would have evaporated through cooking the chicken. If you don't add enough of the water you can always add more along the way.
- Cook the rice. About 12-15 minutes.
- Let it stand for about 5 minutes or so. If there is any liquid left with the rice, drain after this time has passed.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle de-bone and shred.
- Mix the rice and chicken together.
- Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius.
- Using a medium/large casserole dish spoon the mixture in. You can layer it by doing rice, then chicken then rice again but I like mixing it all together before hand.
- Flatten the surface using the back of your spoon or a spatula.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and using a fork beat the egg well.
- Spread the egg mixture onto the rice, make sure it covers all the surface (use 2 eggs if needs be). Once its cooked it'll give it a nice crunchy texture on top and remains soft underneath.
- Slice the chorizo and cover the rice with it. You can use as little or as much as you like. I like completely covering it in chorizo but this one in the photo my mother made.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the top layer is golden brown.
- Serve with a salad of your choice.
