Here’s an Amazing Forgotten Chicken recipe — the classic “mix it, bake it, forget it” dish that’s super easy, comforting, and always a hit!
⭐ Amazing Forgotten Chicken
A no-fuss casserole with tender chicken, creamy rice, and rich flavor—all baked in one dish.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups long-grain white rice (uncooked; not instant)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups chicken broth (or water + bouillon)
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (or any dry onion soup mix)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional:
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Paprika for color
- 1/2 cup sour cream (stir into the soups for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
3. Layer the Rice and Chicken
- Spread uncooked rice evenly over the bottom.
- Place the chicken breasts on top.
- Season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Make the Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together:
- Cream of chicken soup
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Chicken broth
- Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and rice.
5. Add the Onion Soup Mix
- Sprinkle the entire packet of dry onion soup mix over the top.
6. Bake (the “forgotten” part!)
- Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Do not uncover during baking.
- The long bake ensures the rice absorbs all liquid and the chicken becomes very tender.
7. Serve
- Fluff the rice and serve hot.
- Add parsley or paprika on top if you want it to look extra nice.
⭐ Tips for Best Results:
- Don’t use instant rice—it will turn mushy.
- For creamier texture, add 1/2 cup sour cream to the soup mixture.
- For flavor variation, add 1/2 cup white wine in place of some broth.
- Works great with boneless thighs too (even more tender).
