Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Uncooked long-grain white rice
• 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
• 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Water
• 1 packet Onion soup mix
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a little oil.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 5

Pour the soup mixture evenly over the rice, ensuring all the rice is covered.

Step 6

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice and soup mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix evenly over the chicken and rice.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the moisture during cooking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to rest, still covered, for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

Step 12

Serve hot, with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
