Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Layer the Base
In the baking dish, mix together the uncooked rice, both cans of soup, water (or broth), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly combine.
Step 3: Add the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts or thighs on top of the rice mixture.
Step 4: Season and Bake
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chicken. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp should be 165°F / 74°C).
Step 5: Uncover and Brown
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes to allow the top to lightly brown (optional but recommended for texture!).
