Easy family dinner idea for your picky eaters!
This classic dinner recipe is a breeze to throw together with just a handful of common pantry staples. You’re simply going to spend about 5 minutes dumping everything into a large baking dish, covering it with foil, and then about an hour later you’ve got perfectly cooked creamy rice topped with flavorful baked chicken that your entire family will love.
If you’re looking for easy meals to make for your picky family, you’ve got to add this creamy chicken and rice casserole to your dinner menu!
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breast
- 2 cups Minute Rice (white or brown)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can water (use one of the soup cans)
- 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 tablespoon butter
Step 1In a medium size bowl, combine two cups of uncooked Instant rice, both cans of creamy soup, and a can of water.
Step 2Place the rice mixture into a generously buttered 9×13 baking dish and then place your chicken breasts directly on top of the mixture.
Step 3Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the chicken. You can also add black pepper and other seasonings if you like to doctor up your recipes, but there’s really no need for it! The onion soup mix is packed full of flavor and the soup has plenty of salt.
Step 4Cover the pan with foil and bake in a 350° preheated oven for 1 – 1½ hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Be sure to leave the foil on the dish for at least an hour while it’s in the oven in order for the rice to steam and fully cook. I suppose that’s why it’s called no peek chicken!
Serve this yummy chicken dinner with your favorite side of veggies and watch as everyone cleans their plates! This easy recipe is perfect for feeding a large family with kids, especially if you have picky eaters at home who make dinner time feel like the hardest task of the day.
For a quick, healthy side dish, we like to air fry broccoli with a little bit of olive oil and seasoning, but any seasonal veggie would complement this flavorful chicken and rice.
