Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or oil.
Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts or thighs on top of the rice, spaced out evenly.
In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and water or broth until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and rice.
Sprinkle onion soup mix over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake for 1 hour, checking rice at 45 minutes; if not tender, bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Check rice doneness around 45 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Try adding shredded cheddar cheese in the last 10 minutes for extra flavor.
Use brown rice only if you have extra time—it takes longer to cook.
Low-sodium soups can be used for a healthier option.
Prep ahead and refrigerate; let sit at room temperature before baking.
