Mom'S Chicken Supreme
A comforting chicken and rice casserole with savory mushroom soup and onion flavor, perfect for family dinners and those who enjoy hearty, baked poultry dishes.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a casserole dish well.
- Spread uncooked long grain rice on the bottom of the dish and add water.
- Place filleted and halved chicken breasts on top of the rice.
- Combine the dehydrated onion soup mix, condensed mushroom soup, and chopped parsley.
- Spread the soup mixture evenly on top of the chicken.
- Cover the dish and bake at 350°F for 2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use long grain rice as it cooks evenly and absorbs the flavors well. If you don't have dehydrated onion soup mix, you can use a combination of dried onion flakes and seasoning salt. For a twist, consider adding some sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the rice layer for added texture and flavor. This dish is similar to Microwave Chicken And Rice, but bakes for a deeper flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mom's Chicken Supreme with a fresh green salad and crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. Roasted vegetables or steamed broccoli make excellent side dishes, adding color and nutrition to your meal. This dish pairs beautifully with American recipes like Crab Bisque(A Delicious Cream Soup) for a comforting dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out. This dish can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use brown rice instead of white?
Yes, you can substitute brown rice, but be aware that it will require a longer cooking time and more water. You may need to bake it for an additional 30 minutes to ensure the rice is fully cooked and tender.
What can I use instead of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a different flavor, you can use cream of chicken soup or even a homemade cream sauce. Just ensure that the consistency is similar to maintain the dish's creamy texture.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the dish a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just add an extra 15-30 minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the fridge.
