Creamy Chicken in Rice

Submitted by BeccaB3c

"This recipe was one of the 'usuals' at my house when I was little- Even so, we never got tired of it! It is a super easy recipe, and you can play around with it: For the soup, you can either use two cans of cream of mushroom, or one can each of cream of mushroom and cream of celery. For the chicken, you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts, or chicken legs. I truly hope you enjoy!"

The chicken was wonderfully tender, but I didn't like the flavor of the onion soup (2 stars from me); my husband did enjoy it (4 stars from him). Also, I thought the dish was too creamy. Maybe I'll add more rice next time and flavor the chicken with just the salt and pepper.

My hubby and I liked this dish. I added some sauteed chopped celery. I added one cup of water and simmered it on top of the stove until the rice was done. The flavor was very good. Thanks for sharing Bec!

This was a favorite at my house growing up too. My grandmother makes it with 1 1/2 cups rice, 1 1/2 cups water and covers tightly and cooks for 2 1/2 hours. We call it \

I have to give this 5 stars. I don't usualy like cream style soup recipes but this is exceptional. I added some sliced mushrooms and french fried onions on top. I am not sure if some of the rice never got soft or it got hard again but it was no problem it was only a little bit around the sides.

This is very good. I did adapt the recipe. I didn't have any chicken but I had some pork chops in the freezer. It's very good with pork and I can't wait to try it with chicken. I will make it again.
