Main ingredients

  • 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) low-sodium cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) low-sodium cream of celery soup
  • 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 lbs chicken tenders (about 12 pieces)

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 oz packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large oven-safe casserole dish, stir together the rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until well combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and dry onion soup mix. Rub this seasoning over both sides of the chicken tenders.

Cooking

  • Place the seasoned chicken on top of the rice mixture. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the rice is tender and fluffy.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Spoon the creamy rice onto plates, top it with the chicken tenders, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 2-3 months. Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Customize the seasoning and add vegetables for nutrition.
