Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix (1 oz)
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, and water (or broth) until smooth.
  4. Pour this mixture over the rice, ensuring all rice grains are coated.
  5. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then arrange them on top of the rice mixture.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 90 minutes without peeking.
  8. After 90 minutes, remove the foil and check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  9. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure a tight foil seal to trap steam. Let chicken sit at room temperature for even cooking. Add more liquid if rice seems dry.
