Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Long-grain white rice
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons (optional, for richness) Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, water, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Spread the uncooked long-grain white rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Pour the soup mixture over the rice, ensuring the rice is fully submerged and evenly coated.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. If desired, dot the chicken breasts with small pats of butter for extra richness.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the foil to trap the steam inside.
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not remove the foil or peek inside while it cooks, allowing the dish to steam and cook thoroughly.
After 90 minutes, carefully remove the foil and check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the rice is tender.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
