Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Ingredients
    • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 2 cups instant rice (white or brown)
    • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
    • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
    • 1 can (10.5 oz) water (use the empty soup can for measurement)
    • 1 envelope onion soup mix
    • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
  • Optional Additions
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Frozen vegetables
    • Diced chicken

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, water, and rice. Stir until well blended.
  • Assemble Dish: Pour the rice and soup mixture into the prepared baking pan. Place chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
  • Add Seasoning: Evenly sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken breasts.
  • Bake: Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1½ hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
  • Optional Topping: For added flavor, uncover the pan during the last 10 minutes of baking and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Serve: Allow the dish to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy chicken and rice directly from the baking pan.

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, substitute low-sodium soups and brown rice.
  • Add frozen vegetables (like peas or carrots) to make it a complete one-pan meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
