  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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 chicken soup

1 can (10.5 oz) water

1 envelope onion soup mix

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Prepare the Rice Mixture: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and water. Stir until well mixed.

  • Add the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Add the Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the top of the chicken and rice.

  • Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.

  • Rest and Serve: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

  • Variations: Add frozen peas, carrots, or corn to the rice mixture for extra flavor and nutrition. For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken during the last 10 minutes of baking.

  • Spicy Twist: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the rice mixture for extra heat.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the microwave or cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
