4 Ingredient Chicken & Rice Casserole

A definite remake. Used boneless thighs instead of chicken breast and cooked for the 1 and 15 minutes. Used beefy onion soup mix as didn't have regular onion soup mix. Delicious!!

I haven't cooked this yet but another site had the same recipe but using instant rice. Wondering if that would be better since I've never had luck with these recipes cooking the rice all the way through. Nothing worse than crunchy rice in a casserole.

Keep foil tight to cook the rice all the way through

I have been making a version of this for a long time. My mom made this growing up. I think it was on the back of a Lipton's soup mix packet. I prefer to use milk instead of water and I add the soup mix, milk, cream of mushroom and rice to a baking dish and mix well. Then I salt and pepper the chicken before adding. I bake it at 375 covered with tinfoil for 1 hr, remove the tin foil and bake for an additional 10 min or until the liquid has been absorbed. It's what I make when I don't feel like anything special. So it's a "not so special special chicken casserole".

It wasn't bad but the baking time was long and it just didn't wow me enough to try it again.

Cooking time may have been too long, as chicken was overdone. Will try again, removing chicken when internal temp reaches 175, and leaving the rice to continue cooking if needed.

Next time I'm going to add a bag of broccoli. Really good flavor! Used Lipton onion soup box. Update: add a can of corn and peas for the last ten minutes of cooking. Steam bag of broccoli for side/ mix together at end.

sooo easy, super delicious. easy weeknight meal for when you're in a hurry.
