A Hearty, Hands-Off Dinner Solution
This No Peek Chicken Casserole gets its name from the fact that you don’t need to lift the foil or check on it while it bakes—the oven does all the work! The combination of cream of mushroom and celery soups with onion soup mix creates a rich, savory base that perfectly flavors the tender chicken and rice. Let’s get this comforting dish into the oven!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of celery soup
- 1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet onion soup mix
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large baking dish, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, uncooked rice, water, and onion soup mix. Stir everything together until the mixture is well blended.
- Add the chicken pieces to the dish, stirring to ensure that the chicken is coated with the soup mixture. The soups will infuse the chicken with flavor as it bakes.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. This step is crucial—do not lift the foil during baking, as it allows the casserole to steam and cook properly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
