No Peek Chicken and Rice Casserole

[Alyssa Rivers]

No peek chicken and rice casserole is the ultimate easy comfort food. Tender chicken and creamy, flavorful rice bake together in one dish. Just cover it tightly, pop it in the oven, and whatever you do, don’t peek!

Why No Peeking Pays Off​

• One-Pan Dinner: The chicken and rice cook together, so you get a full meal with very little cleanup.
• Pantry Staples: This cozy chicken and rice casserole uses simple ingredients you probably already have on hand.
• Creamy, Cozy Rice: The rice soaks up all that savory flavor while it bakes and comes out creamy and tender.

No Peek Chicken and Rice Casserole Ingredients​

• Rice: Use uncooked long-grain white rice. The amount of liquid in this recipe is made for this type of rice.
• Condensed Soups: I love using both cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. You can use two cans of the same flavor if you prefer.
• Onion Soup Mix: Sprinkle it over the top for an easy boost of savory flavor.

No Peek Chicken and Rice Casserole Recipe​

Mix, layer, cover, and bake; no-peek chicken and rice casserole could not be easier. If your family loves easy dinners like this one, try my Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, or Chicken Tetrazzini next.

1. Make the Rice Mixture: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Whisk the rice, can of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth in a large bowl, then pour into the baking dish.
2. Add the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cover and Bake: Sprinkle with onion soup mix, then cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Or until the chicken reaches 165°F and the rice is tender. No peeking!

Alyssa’s Pro Tips​

• Don’t Peek: Keep the foil sealed tightly while it bakes. The trapped steam is what helps cook the rice.
• Check for Doneness: Before serving, make sure the chicken reaches 165°F, and the rice is tender.

Must Have Kitchen Tools For This Recipe​

• Large Bowl: For mixing the rice and creamy sauce.
• Whisk: Helps blend the soups and broth until smooth.
• 9 x 13 Baking Dish: For the chicken and rice to cook evenly.
• Meat Thermometer: Takes the guesswork out of checking when the chicken is done.
