Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Minute rice (I used brown rice)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can of water (use one of the soup cans)
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
Directions:
- Using the 1 tbsp. butter, butter a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, 1 can of water, and Minute rice.
- Pour the mixture into the buttered pan.
- Place chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
- Sprinkle Lipton onion soup evenly on top of chicken breasts.
- Cover the pan with foil and place in a preheated oven, 350.
- Cook for about 1-1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Tips for Extra Flavor:
- Herb Infusion: Add a dash of dried thyme or rosemary to the creamy soup mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Cheese Upgrade: Before serving, sprinkle shredded Parmesan or your favorite cheese over the chicken for a cheesy twist.
FAQs:
- Can I use different types of rice?
- Certainly! Feel free to experiment with different rice varieties, such as jasmine rice, basmati rice, or wild rice, to suit your preferences.
- What can I substitute for Minute rice?
- If you prefer, you can use regular rice, but adjust the cooking time and liquid accordingly. Check for doneness and add more water if needed.
- How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear, indicating doneness.
