"This is my own Colorado spin on the old standard Chicken Rice Casserole that's been around for ages."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 8 bone in skin on chicken thighs
• 1 cup raw white rice
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup roasted hatch green chili, chopped
• 1 regular size pkt Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

directions

1. Spray a 9" x 13" Pyrex baking dish with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Spread rice evenly in pan. Add the onion & green chiles, then the chicken, skin side up.
3. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the top. Mix the cream of chicken soup, water, garlic powder and cumin well. Pour over the chicken & rice.
4. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 325 for about 1 hour & 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender. I usually check it at 1 hour and add a little water if it looks dry.

I haven't tried cooking this yet but once a week I cook something new so next week this will be that and I'm actually thinking of adding jalapenos with the green chiles because my family loves spicy food. When I do cook this and find out how everyone feels about it then I will rate it.
