Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
2 cups rice
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, or more to taste
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
3 cups water, or more as needed
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over the rice; season with black pepper and salt. Arrange chicken breast halves evenly atop the rice and cheese layers. Dot chicken breasts evenly with rounded teaspoons of cream of chicken soup. Pour 3 cups water over the chicken and finish by sprinkling onion soup mix evenly over everything.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE FOR TWO



Cheesy Chicken and Rice for two image

I have had this idea rolling around in my head for awhile and tonight I finally had the time to put it together. You can use any seasoning blend you desire. I did not add salt because the cheese loaf contains plenty of salt already. This recipe can be expanded to feed several as long as you have a deep enough baking dish to allow the stock to boil without running over the edge. It is important to check half-way through cooking because you do not want the rice to absorb all the liquid too soon before the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 - chicken leg quarters
1 cup(s) instant brown rice
1 cup(s) chicken stock
1/2 cup(s) water
1 tablespoon(s) mrs. dash southwest chipotle seasoning blend
8 or more slice(s) from cheese loaf (like velveeta)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Remove skin from chicken, trim off fat, and rinse with cool water. Generously sprinkle chicken pieces with Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle blend, set aside.
  • In a 21/2-3qt round (round dish has taller sides than oblong) casserole dish, combine rice, chicken stock, and water. Generously season with Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle blend. Place chicken leg quarters on top. Cover and bake 30 minutes.
  • Remover cover and stir the rice checking that liquid will be enough to keep rice from drying out while chicken finishes cooking. If more liquid is needed, add more water as needed. Return to oven, uncovered, and bake another 20-30 min. until chicken to cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and turn oven off. Slice about 8 slices from the cheese loaf and place around the edge of casserole dish and also cover the middle. Return to still hot oven for about 5 min. to melt the cheese. Remove from oven and stir the rice to blend in the cheese. Serve with vegetables of choice or a green salad.
