INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 ounce dry onion soup mix 1 packet or use homemade
- 10.5 ounces (1 can) condensed cream of mushroom soup
TIP: If you don't have any cream of mushroom soup you can always use cream of chicken. You can also substitute whole milk for condensed cream soup in a casserole, but you must thicken it and add seasonings to match the texture and flavor.
Create a simple roux by melting 3 tbsp butter, whisking in 3 tbsp flour, and slowly adding 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of broth.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish or glass baking pan with cooking spray (the rice doesn't cook well in a metal pan). Add chicken breasts and season with salt & pepper.
- Pour uncooked rice over chicken. Sprinkle with onion soup mix.
- Combine mushrooms soup and 1 ½ cups of water. Pour over chicken.
- Cover and bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until rice is tender.
Depending on your own variables, it can require up to an additional 25 minutes.
