Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 packet onion soup mix
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Pour half of the soup mixture over the rice, spreading evenly.
- Place the chicken breasts over the rice, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the remaining soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is fully covered. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the top.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
- Remove foil in the last 15 minutes of baking if you want the top to brown slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
