Forgotten Chicken and Rice is a simple, one-pan dish that’s easy to make and delicious! It’s called “forgotten” because once you put it in the oven, you just let it cook and forget about it. The creamy soups help to create a flavorful sauce, making the chicken and rice tender and juicy. Here’s how to make it:
Forgotten Chicken and Rice 🍗🍚
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups instant rice (white or brown)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (or water)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Chopped parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Dish:
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth (or water). Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the instant rice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the rice and seasonings in the sauce.
-
Add the Chicken:
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Do not stir. Simply place the chicken breasts directly on top of the rice and soup mixture.
-
Cover and Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. The chicken will cook through and the rice will absorb the creamy mixture, becoming tender and flavorful.
-
Serve:
- After baking, remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
-
Enjoy!:
- Serve the Forgotten Chicken and Rice with a side of vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
This is a super easy and comforting dish that’s perfect for a busy weeknight or when you need a hassle-free meal. The chicken comes out juicy, and the rice is perfectly cooked in the creamy sauce! 🍽️
