Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh herbs optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil to coat the bottom.
  • Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the dish. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and onion soup mix, stirring until well mixed. Pour the mixture evenly over the rice.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them on top of the rice mixture.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice has absorbed the liquid.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork, serve the chicken on top, and enjoy your No Peek Chicken and Rice.
