Description

This viral No-Peek Chicken and Rice is the easiest one-pan dinner! Just dump chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, broth, and onion soup mix in a dish and bake.


Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup

1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Mushroom Soup

2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)

2 cups regular long-grain white rice, uncooked

1 package (1-oz) onion soup mix

Cooking spray


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In the bottom of the baking dish, pour in the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, uncooked rice, and the packet of onion soup mix.

3. Whisk all the ingredients together directly in the dish until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

4. Place the 4 chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.

5. Cover the dish TIGHTLY with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to create an airtight seal.

6. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. DO NOT PEEK under the foil.

7. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest, still covered, for 10 minutes.

8. Remove the foil, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do Not Peek: The most important rule is to not lift the foil. Lifting it releases the steam required to cook the rice, and it will turn out crunchy.

Rice Type: You MUST use regular long-grain white rice. Do not use Instant, Minute, or Brown rice.

Sodium: Use Unsalted soups and low-sodium broth to control the saltiness, as the onion soup mix contains a lot of sodium.

Variations: You can use boneless chicken thighs. You can also use any two cans of ‘cream of’ soup (e.g., 2 cream of chicken or cream of celery).
