Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup

- 1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking.

5. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture, spacing them evenly.
6. Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
8. Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute brown rice for a heartier dish, but adjust the baking time accordingly.
Add broccoli or peas before baking to include extra veggies.
For a cheesy version, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
This dish is great for meal prepping or feeding a crowd.
Use reduced-sodium soups if you’re watching salt intake.
