Time needed

15 min preparation + 50 min cooking

Serving Size / Yield

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or Healthy Request®)
  • 1 1/3 C. water
  • 3/4 C. uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 C. frozen mixed vegetables
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast half (about 1 lb.)
  • 1/2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Heat the oven to 375°F. Stir the soup, water, rice, onion powder, black pepper and vegetables in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Top with the chicken. Cover the baking dish. Bake for 50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. Top with the cheese. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes. Stir the rice before serving.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with a Caesar salad. For dessert serve frozen Italian-style water ice or gelati.

Alfredo: Substitute broccoli flowerets for the vegetables and substitute 1/4 cup grated Parmesan for the Cheddar cheese. Add 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese with the soup. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Lower Fat: Use Campbell's® 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup instead of regular soup and use low fat cheese instead of regular cheese.

Mexican: In place of the onion powder and black pepper use 1 teaspoon chili powder. Substitute Mexican cheese blend for the Cheddar.

Italian: In place of the onion powder and black pepper use 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed. Substitute 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan for the Cheddar.

  • Easy to prepare. Chicken doesn't get done in 50 minutes. Takes an extra 20 or so minutes to cook thoroughly, then the veggies and rice are overcooked. Don't know if it's from covering the dish in the oven or oven not hot enough at 375. Campbells, please help solve this problem.
