Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large casserole dish, combine the uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and onion soup mix until well blended.
- Lay the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture, then season them with salt and pepper.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
- After an hour, remove the foil. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on now and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice or garlic. You can also add breadcrumbs on top for crunch, and consider varying the cheese or adding sautéed vegetables for extra nutrition.
