Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Uncooked long-grain white rice
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Water
- 1 packet Onion soup mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a little oil.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Stir until smooth.
Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the rice, ensuring all the rice is covered.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice and soup mixture in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix evenly over the chicken and rice.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the moisture during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to rest, still covered, for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Serve hot, with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
