Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of celery soup (or substitute cream of mushroom)
1½ cups water (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
1 packet dry onion soup mix
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Baking Dish:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Stir together the uncooked rice, both soups, and water (or broth) directly in the dish until fully combined.
Add Chicken:
Lay the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Top with Onion Soup Mix:
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.
Cover and Bake:
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes without peeking. This traps steam to cook the rice and chicken evenly.
Check and Finish:
Remove foil and check for doneness. If needed, bake uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes to allow any excess liquid to absorb or to brown the top.
Rest and Serve:
Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Use boneless chicken thighs for more flavor and juiciness.
Add-ins: Sliced mushrooms, peas, or carrots can be mixed into the rice.
Cheesy twist: Top with shredded cheddar during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Don’t use brown rice without adjusting liquid and cook time—it may stay undercooked.
