1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz / 300 grams)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 grams)

For the Chicken

Preparation Steps

In the baking dish combine the rice, chicken broth, water, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until well mixed.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix evenly so the rice is fully coated.

Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using.

Cover the dish tightly with foil to keep the moisture inside.

Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
