3 Ingredient Chicken Dish

I love when a dish comes together quickly and uses just a few simple ingredients that are almost always on hand in any kitchen. Even better is when the dish is a hit with the family!

And that's what happened last night. ☺

 

I grabbed the package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs from my fridge, thinking I wanted something different than the same old "seasoned and fried" chicken in a pan.

 

So I walked to the pantry, looked over my soup selection, and settled on a can of cream of chicken. In the next cupboard over, I grabbed my box of rice. The idea of a casserole type dish started forming in my mind. 

Then, I had it ~ (the recipe that is!) ~ just something I whipped together in my brain. And often, that's the way I like to work!

Here's what you'll need:

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 - 10.5 oz. can condensed Cream of Chicken soup

2 cups of instant white rice

Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Season the bottom of the dish with salt, course pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Set aside. 

 

Next, remove chicken from the package, rinse and set on a cutting board. Lay each piece out flat, and cut in half from top to bottom. Move each piece into the baking dish, making one layer of meat over the entire bottom of the dish. Season the top of the chicken with salt, course pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.

Pour the can of Cream of Chicken soup over the top of all chicken pieces, smoothing it out to the edges with a spatula to make an even covering over the meat. Cover with aluminum foil. Place in oven on middle rack, and set the timer for 30 minutes. (Chicken will be done when meat is white, and no pink shows.)

When there are approximately 10 minutes left, prepare rice according to package directions for 4 servings. 

 

 

To Serve:

 

Place a mound of rice on each plate. With a large, deep spoon, scoop chicken and soup from baking dish and place over each mound of rice. (I served 2 pieces of chicken per plate.)

Yield: 4 servings

Tender and tasty chicken over rice.

 

You can easily expand the meal by simply adding a side of steamed carrots, broccoli or any other vegetable of your choice.

Hope you enjoy this as much as my family did!
