(Note: Full recipe is at the bottom of the post)
How to Make Chicken And Rice
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper.
- In an 11×8-inch baking dish, whisk together the soup and the water until combined. Stir in the rice, black pepper, and paprika. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chick is fully cooked.
Tips and Tricks
- The chicken can be quickly seared in hot oil until a light golden color.
- Additional seasonings can be added for flavor. Dried thyme, rosemary, savory, and cayenne pepper are good options.
- Be sure to seal the casserole dish tightly with foil. This will produce chicken that’s moist and juicy.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to determine when the chicken is done. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Variations

- Add a package of dry onion soup mix for a delicious onion flavor. Note that you may not need to season the chicken with as much salt.
- Make it a true one-dish meal by adding fresh or fully thawed and drained frozen broccoli florets.
- Add shredded cheddar or crushed corn chips to the casserole during the last 15-20 minutes after removing the foil.
