  • 1 10.5 oz can water
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13 baking pan with the butter.

  • Pour the rice and soup mixture into the prepared baking pan. Top with the chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Optional: Uncover and top with shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Notes

  • For diced chicken, add 1 lb cubed raw chicken to the rice mixture before baking.
  • Reduce baking time by 20-30 minutes.
  • You can substitute different cream soups, add frozen veggies, or use boneless chicken thighs.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3-4 days. Can also be frozen then thawed and reheated.
