30 Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner by Accident image

Basically it's a Campbell's chicken and soup recipe that I had tweaked. I had 4 hungry friends over and no real food or money since where in college (this is a cheap dinner to make and easy to double good for big families). All I had on hand was chicken and rice and mushroom soup. Lucky I had a few spare items on hand. I didn't like the idea of chicken just sitting there in cream of mushroom soup for an hour in the oven with rice. So I tweaked it with white wine and made it on the stovetop we couldn't wait an hour. With the brown bits it made the greyish looking soup into a pretty golden color and the garlic woke everything up. The Uncle Ben flavor rices are awesome--when you're in a pinch I totally recommend them. You can also use egg noodles--it makes it a bit more richer. Ever since then, I get this request about twice a week and people still don't believe its cream of mushroom soup--who knew !

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -6 chicken breasts, flattened out
1 (8 7/8 ounce) packet of uncle ben's garlic and butter flavorful rice pilaf mix
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon white wine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
3 garlic cloves, mashed
1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, add oil and 2 tablespoons of butter; let melt and then add chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown and juices run clear.
  • While chicken is cooking, follow package directions for rice (it takes about 10 to 15 minutes I've found).
  • In saucepan deglaze pan with wine.
  • Don't get rid of those yummy brown bits--it gives this sauce flavor.
  • Add garlic, cream of mushroom soup and milk; stir until creamy.
  • Add cheese.
  • When rice is cooked, pour into mushroom mixture. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Let cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve with salad and garlic bread. Serves 4.
  • You can also leave the rice separate and just put the chicken in the sauce--either way, it's your choice.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time I make it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different cooking method.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights! It's quick, easy, and the whole family loves it. I like to add some chopped carrots and celery to the rice for extra veggies.
