Easy to Make. Kids Love it!

 "Made this one tonight and it was really good! I read the reviews before I made it and made a few adjustments. I have a small family of three but this portion worked out. I used 1cup of rice and 1cup of water, added a can of creamy of celery soup, and seasoned the chicken prior to baking! I also cooked for an hour took the foil off and added the cheese then cooked for another ten minutes.....Perfect! Everyone liked it and will make again." - ericacharest

  • Instead of garlic powder I used hot wing seasoning, threw in some tapatio and a red bell pepper. It was a little spicy but so good! Easy too! photo by Victorigrl Victorigrl

    It was super easy and quick. I added tony chachere and the pepper and used Italian shredded cheese and I used skinless thighs. Will be using this recipe again

    I've seen this before, it does need a kick, so I add a packet of onion soup mix. Sooo yummy.

    Outstanding and easy. We really liked it and leftovers were great too.

    A quick, easy, basic dish. I took the advice and used chicken broth instead of water and threw in a packet of ranch dressing mix. I also used chicken tenders instead of whole breasts and it was very tender and juicy. Next time, I will cook the rice for a bit before mixing it with the other ingredients, as it wasn't completely cooked when the dish came out.

    I keep improving on this recipe and this last time it turned out amazing!!!! So I boil my chicken first, when that's done I let it cool... Then I mix the cream of chicken, a packet of ranch dressing, with chicken broth instead of water, and I used the knorr 7 minute rices with seasoning.... I also mixed in a cup full of cheese. Cut up my chicken into pieces and added!!! Mix it all together put cheese on top and bake!!!!
