Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 chicken pieces (bone-in or boneless)
Rice:
- 1 1/2 cups minute rice
Cream Soups:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of celery soup
Instructions
- Prepare a culinary ensemble with aromatic rice and succulent chicken, creating a comforting one-dish meal.
- Select a spacious baking dish and generously coat its interior with nonstick cooking spray to prevent adherence.
- Create a smooth, creamy base by thoroughly blending uncooked rice with condensed soup, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Carefully arrange chicken pieces atop the rice mixture, positioning them evenly for consistent cooking.
- Shield the entire dish with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment that traps moisture and promotes tender meat preparation.
- Slide the covered dish into a preheated oven set at 350 degrees fahrenheit, allowing the contents to simmer and meld flavors for approximately 90 minutes.
- Verify chicken’s doneness by checking internal temperature reaches 165 degrees fahrenheit and rice achieves a fluffy, fully cooked texture.
- Remove foil during the final 15 minutes of cooking to allow slight browning and crisp edges, enhancing visual appeal and textural complexity.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after removing from oven, allowing juices to redistribute and flavors to intensify before serving.
Notes
- Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to enhance flavor and prevent dryness during long baking time.
- Choose low-sodium cream soup to control salt content and make the dish healthier for diet-conscious individuals.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to boost the dish’s aromatic profile and provide extra depth of taste.
- Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes after baking to help redistribute juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
