Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 × 13-inch dish.
  2. Whisk the soup with 1 1/2 cups water, then stir in the rice. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread in the dish and lay the chicken on top.
  4. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes until the rice is tender.
  5. Uncover, sprinkle with the cheese and bake 5 minutes more.

Notes

Keep the foil sealed tight. The trapped steam cooks the rice.
