This week’s featured recipe is one of the first things that I ever made for my husband when we were dating. He loved it, and it’s become a dish that he requests quite often. And even though I’m branching out and trying to make different things, I still love this. In my mind it’s one of those “old faithful” recipes. If I’m running short on time, or ingredients, or if I can’t decide what to put on the week’s menu, I can always turn to the Chicken & Rice Bake!
Recipe for Chicken & Rice Bake 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cups water (or 2 2/3 cup for extra-creamy rice)
1 1/2 cups uncooked regular long-grain white rice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tsp pepper (or more if desired)
salt to season (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese (as much as desired)
Coat a 2 qt shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Mix soup, water,and rice together. Mix in some cheese (optional). Season with pepper and a little salt (if desired). Place uncooked chicken breasts on top of mixture. Season chicken with additonal pepper. Top chicken and rice with cheese. Cover with tin foil. Bake at 375°F. 45 min. or until done.

We make this all of the time! It is delicious and a favorite at my house. We’ve never put cheese on it though-will have to try that next time.
This is good! I make my own version of this as well!
Yum. So easy! I’ve got to make this one soon. Thanks for stopping by!
We all need favorites we can whip up in a hurry… This looks like comfort food…. mmmmmm
Looks yummy and easy! I have a Mr. Linky on my blog: http://www.dianarambles.com/
I love this kind of simple, versatile and delicious dishes!
That looks so good! I love healthy, easy dishes like this.
It’s great to have old stand-bys, especially if your husband loves them too!
PS: I’ve been by a few times, have I mentioned yet that I think your flower design is too cute?
This casserole is SO delicious. I haven’t made it in a long time, but will have to make it again soon.
Glad I saw your link on Blissfully Domestic. This sounds like a great easy recipe. Thanks.
Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving a note. I hope you will try the brownie recipe. It is quite a hit at my house and eveyone seems to really like. I will try your chicken dish. It sounds great. Blessings.
Recipes with Cream of Mushroom Soup are always good! I also like the sweet story that goes along with it. I still make some of my first recipes and they were really basic! 🙂 Thanks for joining us for Tasty Tuesday!

This sounds great. I always forget that I can put uncooked rice in something like this – which makes it so simple! Thanks!

This used to be one of my favorite stand bys but I have not made it in ages!
Thanks. I have been wanting a new chicken and rice recipe. I have some chicken in the freezer and all the other ingredients. I may be our dinner tonight!
