Chicken and Rice is a tasty duo in our kitchen that we can always count on...and now it's tastier than ever.

What You'll Need

1 (10 ¾-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked long-grain parboiled white rice (See Note)
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole chicken leg-thigh quarters, cut in half and skin removed (See Note)
1 (1-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a 9- x 13-inch baking dish, combine soup, water, rice, mushrooms, scallions, and pepper; mix well. Place chicken over soup mixture and sprinkle with soup mix.
Cover and bake 65 to 70 minutes, or until no pink remains in chicken and juices run clear.

Notes

Long-grain parboiled white rice, also known as Converted rice, can usually be found in the supermarket rice section. A whole cut-up chicken, chicken thighs, legs, or even chicken breast can be used here...whatever is your favorite part.

Would this work with boneless skinless chicken breasts?

Hi there! This won't work with boneless skinless chicken breasts. The chicken breasts would be overcooked before the rice is done.

I've made something like this for years, using cream of mushroom soup, a bag of frozen vegetables and garlic/herb soup mix instead of french onion.

I did make this as I said in my previous comment..It was wonderful and I put grated monterey jack cheese over the top the last 10 min..It was so yummy,we will have this often.I found you can add what ever you want and it adds so much more flavor. I also used brown rice... I always put my touch on recipes,hubby says I kick em up a notch !!!!!!
