Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Get the oven ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your casserole bakes evenly and thoroughly.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease the dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. This helps prevent sticking and makes for easier cleanup later.
Mix the Ingredients:
- Combine the base: In the prepared baking dish, mix together the rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and water. Stir well until everything is evenly combined. This mixture will cook into a creamy, flavorful base for your chicken.
Add the Chicken:
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Place them on top of the rice mixture, nestling them in slightly so they’re partially submerged.
- Sprinkle with onion soup mix: Evenly sprinkle the envelope of onion soup mix over the chicken and rice. This adds a punch of flavor that’s both savory and slightly sweet.
Bake the Casserole:
- Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. The key to this dish is in the name—No Peek! Once it’s in the oven, resist the urge to lift the foil and check on it. Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender and creamy.
- Let it rest: Once the baking time is up, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to settle and makes it easier to serve.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Dish it up: Serve the casserole hot, alongside your favorite sides. Whether it’s a crisp salad, steamed vegetables, or that indulgent crusty bread, you’re in for a comforting, satisfying meal.
