Chicken and Rice Casserole Chicken Soup Celery Soup

One-Dish Chicken & Rice Bake is a life-changing recipe.  Once you know that you can throw uncooked rice and chicken into a baking dish with some condensed cream soup and it bakes up into an amazing one-dish meal, there's no going back.  This basic recipe is delicious on its own, but you can also easily change it up to make different versions like Buffalo or Mexican (see tips below for how).  You can even assemble it ahead of time and bake it when you're ready (like when you walk in the door and all of a sudden it's dinnertime?).  One-Dish Chicken & Rice Bake- you're welcome.

  My wife loves this dish. I use half milk and half water for the rice and boneless/skinless thighs for the protein

  I have made this dish for 25 years, I double the recipe, only I use 2c instant rice, 2 family size cans of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, and instead of paprika I use Lemon pepper. I also rub my chicken with the Lemon pepper. It's a family favorite.

• Used brown rice instead

  I always substitute chicken broth for the water in this recipe. Tonight I used brown rice instead of white rice. I mixed the soup, 1 1/2 c of chicken broth and a cup of brown rice. Stirred and poured the mixture in the baking dish as described. I baked just the rice for 20 min, then I added the chicken thighs--seasoned of course and baked for 40 min. Came out great! Using brown rice added a step, but it's worth it!

  I followed an earlier reviewer's comment and used lemon pepper instead of paprika and 1/4 whole milk with 3/4 water. So yummy. The chicken stayed very juicy. I served it with sauteed fresh green beans with garlic, salt, and black pepper. It was a good pairing.
