Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Minute Rice (white or brown)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can water (use one of the soup cans)
- 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 350° F and generously grease a 9×13 baking dish with about 1 tbsp of butter.
- Step: In a medium size bowl, combine two cups of uncooked Instant rice, both cans of soup, and a can of water.
- Step: Pour the mixture into your buttered pan.
- Step: Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture and sprinkle them with the envelope of onion soup mix.
- Step: Cover with foil and bake for 1-1½ hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
Minute rice cooks faster than regular rice; if using regular rice, partially precook it first. 1½ pounds of chicken is typically 2-4 breasts. Once cooked, you can either slice the chicken or dice it and mix it directly into the rice. This dish is also known as ‘forgotten chicken’ or ‘no peek chicken’ because the foil should remain on to steam the rice.
