Ingredients and Substitutions
Rice - I chose to use Instant rice, but any rice would be delicious. Long grain, Jasmine, white, brown or wild rice, you will have to adjust the cooking time.
Chicken - Boneless things, tenders, or breasts will work. Cut them in chucks or slices. Season them to your preference.
Condensed Soup - Any brand will do, I chose the Campbell’s. Cream of chicken great flavor but you can substitute cream of mushroom, cream of celery or condensed cheddar cheese soup. Yum.
Onion Soup Mix - I prefer the classic Lipton Onion Soup Mix, but any brand would be delicious. There are even different flavors like beefy onion and onion mushroom.
Broth - Chicken or vegetable flavored. You can used canned, carton, or bouillon, low sodium is best. I’ve made this without broth as well and just used water.
Tips & Suggestions
Preheat the oven first to get dinner on the table quicker. It’s so quick to put the together it’ll be ready when you are.
For extra crunch top with crispy onions or jalapeños.
Add aromatics like, chopped sweet peppers, onion, or garlic to the creamy rice mixture.
Don’t forget to set your timer to an hour. If you are using brown or wild rice it will be a bit longer. For a firmer rice texture check the bake around 50 minutes.
If you prefer to use a rice mix like Knorr Chicken Rice Sides or Uncle Benn’s, use two of the 6-7oz packages. Substitute the broth for water and use about ½ the packet of the onion soup mix, to reduce the sodium.
