Incredible Forgotten Chicken

Amazing Forgotten Chicken
This classic “forgotten” chicken recipe truly lives up to its name. With tender chicken baked over a creamy, flavorful rice base, it’s a no-fuss oven meal that practically cooks itself. Just assemble, cover, and let the oven do the work—perfect for hectic evenings when comfort food is a must.
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts — 1 lb
- Minute rice (white or brown) — 2 cups
- Cream of mushroom soup — 1 can (10½ oz)
- Cream of chicken soup — 1 can (10½ oz)
- Water — 1 can (measured using an empty soup can)
- Butter — 1 tablespoon
- Lipton onion soup mix — 1 envelope
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use the butter to generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Mix the Rice Base
In a medium bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, water, and rice until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 3: Assemble
Spread the rice mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay the chicken breasts directly on top of the rice.
Step 4: Add Seasoning
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them well for maximum flavor.
Step 5: Bake
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in moisture. Bake for 1 to 1½ hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender and the rice is creamy.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for about 5 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb any remaining liquid. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, hands-off meal.
