Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
Rice
- 1.5 cups long grain rice, uncooked
Soups
- 2 cups chicken broth, room temperature
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 10.75 oz
- 1 can cream of celery soup, undiluted 10.75 oz
- 1 package onion soup mix unopened or contents used as directed
Chicken
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of excess fat
Garnishes
- as needed paprika for garnish, adds color and mild flavor
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and onion soup mix. Stir until well mixed.
- Pour the rice mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Sprinkle chicken lightly with paprika for added color and flavor.
- Seal the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Resist the urge to check on it—keep it covered the entire time!
- Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This lets the rice absorb any remaining liquid. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. This casserole freezes okay for up to 2 months. Reheat single portions in the microwave with a splash of broth and a cover to retain moisture.
