Forgotten Chicken and Rice

A comforting casserole of tender rice that soaks in savory chicken broth and creamy soup, topped with chicken for a cozy, hands-off meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups regular long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil or spray a large baking dish.
  2. Combine the rice, chicken broth, water, and cream of chicken soup in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley.
  3. Stir until evenly incorporated, ensuring the rice is submerged and the soup is distributed through the liquid.
  4. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture, skin-side up if applicable. Do not press the chicken into the rice; simply nestle it on top.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 90 minutes, until the rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove the foil, let rest for 5 minutes, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and serve.

Notes

Rinsing the rice is optional. For a creamier texture, gently stir the rice after baking to release more of the soup into the grains.
