Description

 This No Peek Chicken Rice Casserole is a simple and satisfying one-dish meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights! Tender chicken, fluffy rice, and a creamy sauce bake together in the oven, creating a flavorful and comforting casserole.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can low-sodium cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can low-sodium cream of celery soup
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 pounds chicken tenders (about 12 strips)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Combine: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a bowl, combine uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth. Pour into the prepared dish.
  2. Top with Chicken: Arrange chicken tenders over the rice mixture. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and pepper. Sprinkle with dry onion soup mix.
  3. Bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Do not peek!
  4. Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the chicken.

Notes

  • Chicken: You can use other cuts of chicken, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Rice: Use long-grain brown or wild rice for a healthier option, but increase cooking time. Avoid short-grain rice, as it will become mushy.
  • Soup: Substitute with other cream-of soups, such as cream of mushroom or broccoli.
  • Vegetables: Add chopped broccoli florets, peas, or a bag of frozen mixed vegetables for a more complete meal.
  • No Peeking: It’s important not to lift the foil while baking to allow the steam to cook the chicken and keep it moist.
