  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Minute rice
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 soup can of water
  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ lbs)
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • Butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, one can of water, and Minute rice. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Pour the rice mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Place chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
  5. Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.
  6. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 90 minutes.
  7. Do not uncover or stir during baking—just trust the process!
  8. Remove from oven, uncover, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Only use Minute rice (instant rice). Traditional or brown rice won’t cook through properly in this recipe.
  • Add frozen peas, mushrooms, or a handful of shredded cheese if you want to jazz it up.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to keep things creamy.
  • This recipe freezes well after baking—just cool, portion, and stash it for a rainy day!
