Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  2. Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray, then add the chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the uncooked rice over the chicken, then sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the rice.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup with 1 ½ cups of water, then pour this mixture over the chicken and rice in the casserole dish.

Notes

For best results, ensure the casserole is tightly covered during baking to allow the rice to cook properly. You can also add some frozen mixed vegetables for extra flavor and nutrients.
