Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts Bone-in thighs or legs can be used for more flavor.
  • 1 cup Rice White rice recommended; brown rice will require adjustments to cooking time.
  • 1 can Cream of chicken soup Can be substituted with cream of celery for variation.
  • 1 can Cream of mushroom soup Optional; can substitute with diced tomatoes for an extra twist.
  • 2 cups Chicken broth Use more if rice is undercooked.
  • 1 packet Onion soup mix Adds seasoning to the dish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a baking dish, combine the rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and onion soup mix. Stir well to mix everything together.
  • Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture without seasoning.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Cooking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve directly from the baking dish. Pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
