Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
In a medium bowl, mix canned chicken soup, onion soup and chicken broth until well mixed. Pour into 9 x 13 baking dish .
Place 4 chicken pieces on top of rice.Securely cover with aluminum foil. You don't want the liquid to evaporate.
Cook for 1 ½ hours. Check if rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
I let this sit for 5 minutes. Then I take the chicken out, fluff the rice and place the chicken back onto the rice. Sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley, chives or green onion on top for color. If you don't have fresh herbs handy, use dried herbs like parsley or chives.
Notes
Recipe Tips
Salt (sodium) level can be reduced using low-sodium products and water instead of beef broth.
Chicken breast meat can be replaced by chicken thigh.
Sides to serve with
Serve with simple bright colored sides such as steamed green beans, steamed broccoli or cooked carrots. In the summer, I enjoy a salad instead of cooked vegetables as my side.
