Forgotten Chicken is a simple, comforting baked chicken casserole featuring boneless skinless chicken breasts layered over a creamy mixture of Minute Rice, cream of chicken and mushroom soups, and flavored with Lipton onion soup mix. This easy one-dish meal is perfect for busy weeknights and delivers hearty flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Toppings

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup mix

Rice and Soup Mixture

  • 2 cups Minute Rice (brown rice preferred)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can water (use one of the soup cans for measurement)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (to grease the baking pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use the 1 tablespoon of butter to thoroughly butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Rice and Soups: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, 1 can of water, and 2 cups of Minute Rice. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  3. Assemble in Pan: Pour the soup and rice mixture evenly into the buttered baking pan. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice and soup layer, making sure they are distributed evenly.
  4. Add Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix evenly over the chicken breasts to add flavor.
  5. Bake: Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in. Bake in your preheated oven for 1 to 1½ hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and rice is tender.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove from the oven, remove foil, and serve warm. Enjoy your comforting, flavorful Forgotten Chicken casserole!

Notes

  • Use brown Minute Rice for a healthier option with more fiber.
  • Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheat nicely.
  • You can swap cream of mushroom or chicken soup with homemade versions for fewer preservatives.
  • For added veggies, consider adding chopped carrots or peas to the rice mixture before baking.
