Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 4 to 6 pieces of Chicken Boneless skinless thighs
  • 1 envelope Dry Onion Soup mix
  • 1 tsp Boom Boom
  • 1/2 tsp butter

Instructions

  • While you prep the other ingredients, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures the dish starts cooking at the right temperature.
  • Take your 9x13 inch casserole dish and coat the bottom with butter. This helps prevent sticking and adds a bit of richness to the dish.
  • Add water, rice and onion soup mix. Stir to evenly distribute rice.
  • Place chicken in the rice mixture. The chicken should be about half way covered
  • Sprinkle boom boom over chicken and rice
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

  • You can check for doneness by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for safe consumption..
  • If you prefer a cheesier flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the casserole dish before baking for the last 10 minutes.
  • You can use different cuts of chicken like boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the pieces.
