Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups instant rice (white or brown)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) water (using the empty soup can for measurement)
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, water, and uncooked instant rice. Mix well.
  3. Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish and spread it evenly.
  4. If desired, stir in frozen vegetables or shredded cheese.
  5. Place raw chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture and sprinkle with onion soup mix.
  6. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes without opening the foil.
  7. After baking, check that the chicken is cooked through (165°F/75°C). For a golden top, broil uncovered for an additional 3–5 minutes.
  8. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
