  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

Equipment

  3. In the same pan, add the rice, water, cream of celery soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
  5. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. While the rice is cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F.
  7. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture in the pan.
  8. If desired, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of the chicken.
  9. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled or halved to fit your needs. You can also substitute the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup if you prefer. For a healthier version, you can use brown rice instead of white rice, and omit the cheese or use a low-fat version.
