AMAZING FORGOTTEN CHICKEN

I’m not sure what “forgotten chicken” means, but when I came across this recipe, it was the first thing that caught my attention. After many times making this, I’m sure the name refers to the fact that you just throw everything into the casserole dish and forget about it! The oven really does all the cooking here.

AMAZING FORGOTTEN CHICKEN

Almost no prep work required other than opening cans. The flavor of the rice is amazing and the onion soup gives the chicken breasts the most delicious flavor.

Believe me when I tell you that you will not find an easier and tastier recipe.

Just imagine rice and chicken breasts with cream of mushrooms and cream of chicken. Nothing else needed to give this dish flavor, and the best part, you will mix and “forget all about it”.

WHAT TO MAKE WITH FORGOTTEN CHICKEN?

All this recipe needs to be a complete meal, is a salad or steamed veggies. If you want to keep your calories low, steam some broccoli florets and carrot slices and you’re good to go!

FREEZE COOKED CHICKEN BREASTS;

You definitely can. What you cannot do is freeze uncooked breasts that have already been thawed.

Cook your chicken breasts, wait for them to completely cool down, wrap them in plastic wrap, and then you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

RECIPE TIPS;

  1. If you cannot find Minute rice, regular white rice is perfectly ok to use. All you need to do is add half a can more of water to the rice mixture.
  2. To ensure proper cooking of the chicken breasts, make sure they are all roughly the same size. If you have one that is a bit bigger, slice it in half lengthwise or flatten it a bit to make it the same size as the others.
  3. Be sure to shake the bag containing the onion soup mix to make sure you are getting equal amounts of dried onion and seasoning on each chicken breast.
  4. If you feel the rice is fully cooked and you still have too much liquid, remove foil for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

    I used Campbell’s Condensed Soups, boneless skinless chicken thighs and added a big handful of frozen peas. Came out absolutely delicious! Thank you!!!

    Is that 1 tbsp butter for greasing the pan?

      No. You use the raw Minute Rice.

    Can you throw in frozen veggies into the rice mix? I imagine you can just want to know if it has been tried.

    The cans of soup listed in the recipe do not specify if condensed or not. Do I need to do anything different for condensed cans?

      It is best to use not condensed soups. If you use condensed, you would have to add more water to the mix.

        Have been making this for decades, and , yes you *should* use condensed soups. There’s enough liquid between the soup and the water for the recipe to come out perfectly. More liquid would result in mushy rice.

    I made this for dinner tonight. My husband and I loved it! I used chicken broth in place of the water. So easy to make for such a fantastic taste. Thank you for coming up with this recipe. It will definitely be in our rotation of meals.

      Yes you can. Just remember to let it cool completely before storing the leftovers in an airtight container.
