Ingredients
Instructions
- Put rice in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, water, and salt together.
- Pour the soup mixture over the rice.
- Dip each chicken breast in melted butter and place on top of the rice and soup mixture.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding some shredded cheese to the soup mixture. You can substitute the rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a healthier option. If you prefer more flavor, try using homemade Chicken Artichoke Soup instead of the canned varieties. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated in butter for optimal browning.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a heartier option, consider pairing with Hearty Rice Dressing. A glass of white wine can complement the flavors nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken and rice in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through. For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated evenly.
