Ingredients

  • 1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original French Bread
  • 20 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 package (8 oz) mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 pouch (8.8 oz) cooked long grain & wild rice
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups Progresso™ reduced sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (8 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Place loaf on cookie sheet; make three diagonal cuts with serrated knife. Bake 26 to 30 minutes or until browned.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, spray 5-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray. Cook chicken in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to plate, and set aside.
  • 3
    Add mushrooms to Dutch oven; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep brown.
  • 4
    Heat rice as directed on pouch.
  • 5
    Add chicken, rice, half-and-half and broth to Dutch oven; heat to simmering. Reduce heat to low; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Cover and keep warm over low heat while bread finishes baking.
  • 6
    When bread is cool enough to handle, cut into 12 slices, and return to cookie sheet. Divide 1/2 cup of the cheese among the slices. Bake 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
  • 7
    Remove soup from heat, and stir in remaining cheese until melted. Divide soup among 4 large bowls. Top each with 3 slices of the cheesy bread.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Swap in 1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice in place of the precooked, bagged rice.
  • tip 2
    This recipe calls for half-and-half. Keep in mind that "fat-free" half-and-half is not the same thing!
