How to Make Chicken Rice For Two

  1. Prepare the rice: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups instant rice, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Microwave on high for 7-8 minutes, or according to package directions. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Prepare the chicken: Lightly grease a small roasting pan (approximately 8x8 inches) with 1 tablespoon of oil or butter.
  4. Assemble the dish: Spread the cooked rice evenly in the prepared roasting pan.
  5. Make the soup mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (or your preferred flavor), 1/2 cup water, and 1 packet of instant onion soup mix until smooth.
  6. Pour the soup mixture: Pour about 2/3 of the soup mixture evenly over the rice in the roasting pan.
  7. Add the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the chicken.
  8. Bake: Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Finish cooking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
