Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of celery soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom, cream of celery, and cream of chicken soups with the water or broth and black pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the rice and stir slightly to combine. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes without removing the foil — do not peek! After baking, remove from oven and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more flavor.
- Add frozen peas or chopped mushrooms to the rice mixture for extra veggies.
- Be sure to keep the foil tightly sealed for best results.
