Savory Chicken and Rice Bake This comforting dish combines tender chicken fillets with creamy soups and aromatic rice for a delicious one-pan meal. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked) 1 packet onion soup mix 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup 1 ½ cups water 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried thyme Salt and pepper to taste Fresh parsley (for garnish) Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Spread the uncooked long-grain rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, water, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth. Lay the chicken on top of the rice, then pour the soup mixture over the chicken and rice, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. Remove from the oven, let the dish rest for a few minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
