Amazing Forgotten Chicken

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:

  1. Using the 1 tbsp. butter, butter a 9 x 13 baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, 1 can of water, and Minute rice.
  3. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan.
  4. Place chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
  5. Sprinkle Lipton onion soup evenly on top of chicken breasts.
  6. Cover the pan with foil and place in a preheated oven, 350.
  7. Cook for about 1-1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Tips for Extra Flavor:

  1. Herb Infusion: Add a dash of dried thyme or rosemary to the creamy soup mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  2. 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.
