01 Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step

Spread rice evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange chicken pieces on top of the rice in a single layer. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and water until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and rice. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring a secure seal to trap steam. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the chicken; the juices should run clear. (90 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set slightly. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for water.
Add sliced vegetables like carrots, celery, or mushrooms for added nutrients and texture.
If you don't have dry onion soup mix, use a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
To prevent the rice from becoming mushy, ensure the foil is tightly sealed and avoid overbaking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
