2 cups minute rice
1 can cream of chicken soup

5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 envelope onion soup mix
Butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
2. In a medium bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, water, and minute rice until combined.
3. Transfer the rice and soup mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly.
4. Place chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.

6. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 90 minutes, without uncovering during the cook time.
7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not use regular long-grain rice, as it won’t cook properly.
You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of celery if needed.
Add frozen vegetables to the rice mixture for a one-dish meal.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen.
