I stole this recipe for One-Pan No Peek Chicken & Rice from halfscratched.com. This tasty dinner is a one-pan meal. Boxed rice mix is mixed with cream soups, garlic powder and water before being poured into a casserole dish. Chicken is placed on top of the rice mixture, and then dried onion soup mix is sprinkled on top of the chicken and rice. Then the dish is covered in foil and baked. A great one-pan meal when you don’t know what to cook.
For this recipe you will need 2 boxes (7 oz each) Zatarain’s Long Grain & Wild Rice Mix, 1 can (10.25 oz) cream of celery soup, 1 can (10.25 oz) cream of mushroom soup, ¼ tsp garlic powder, 1 ¼ can water (soup can) and 1 box Lipton Onion Soup Mix (2 packets).
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine rice mix, cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder and water together. (The original recipe has you mixing this in the casserole dish, I like to mix it in a bowl first.)
Then spread mixture in a sprayed 9×13 casserole dish. Next, place 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. (I cut the breasts into smaller pieces)
Sprinkle everything with both packets of onion soup mix.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour 45 min. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Don’t open the oven and don’t remove the foil!
Scoop out and serve!

Recipe Notes
If you use smaller pieces of chicken or thinner cuts, the cooking time will be less. When I used smaller pieces of chicken I only cooked the chicken for 1 hour.
