Ingredients

  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup 14.5 oz.
  • 1 soup can of water
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 package dry onion soup mix 1.25 oz.
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Add Cream of Chicken soup, soup can of water, rice and dry onion soup mix packet to greased pan. Whisk ingredients together.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the four chicken breasts when the pan is hot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown each side for 1-2 minutes or until the outside has started to brown slightly. You do not want to fully cook the chicken. (Honestly, this step is completely optional, but I prefer to do it because the dish looks more appetizing!)

  4. Using tongs, place browned chicken breasts on top of rice mixture in greased 9×13 pan.

  5. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1½ hours or until rice is tender and chicken breasts are fully cooked.
