The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.08 star rating.

This was really good, and very quick to put together. I made a couple of changes (who doesn't?) I used chicken breast tenders and pre-cooked my rice to reduce the cooking time. Even so, it seemed a little dry to me, so I added some milk to the rice/soup/soup mix mixture to thin it out a bit, and grated some Gouda cheese on top. It was a big hit with my daughter's fiance, who LOVES anything made with rice. One warning...you will have some WICKED onion breath the next day, due to the onion soup mix. Since we'd all eaten the same thing, nobody in my family cared, but I wouldn't want to go out in public too soon after eating this!

I didn't expect much out of this casserole but it actually turned out pretty good. I only used 3 chicken breasts and about half of the onion soup packet. I also used cream of broccoli soup in place of the cream of celery soup. Pretty good overall.

I grew up with my mom making this meal and it is just too good! I have a very picky hubby so yes, I did make some modifications. First off I browned the chicken breasts in olive oil on high heat (just my preference), I only used cream of celery soup (he hates mushrooms), did not add the can of mushrooms, and used the veggie soup mix instead of the onion mix. Oh, I sprinkled seasoning salt on top before I baked it. It was a comforting meal on a cold rainy night, and best of all my picky guy loved it!

I know this recipe as "Chicken Don't Peek"!! The best to use is bone-in chicken pieces-breasts and thighs work best. I use 3 cans of mushroom soup, with 1 3/4 cans of water poured around the chicken, to 2 cups of rice. I bake it in a greased roaster pan with lid. RESIST the urge to check on it!! Keep the oven closed for the entire time! I also increase the cooking time by about 15 mins. The rice is creamy, and the chicken is moist. If only they could make a reduced salt, onion soup mix!!

I made this for the kids and it was a no go. the only reason they ate it was because they were starving from being at the field all night. there were PLENTY of leftovers. Never again with this one.

This was okay. I used another reviewer's suggestion and mixed everything together with chicen that I par-boiled first, but the dry onion soup mix was too much... and I didn't even use the whole thing. I thought it made the whole recipe taste like the soup mix. I would try it without the soup mix and add some veggies and maybe french-fried onions on top to give it some crunch. It tasted a little mushy to me.

This is a warm, cozy, comfort food made simple and easy. It looked and smelled appetizing as well. I added a little extra seasoning, thinking it would need it; a misjudgement on my part.(The soups are salty enough.) We ate and enjoyed regardless and my husband even went back for seconds. Next time, (and there will be a next time.)I will follow the recipe exactly. This would be great dish for a pot luck dinner.

My family and I love this recipe, I did make some changes to it to adapt to my family's tastes. I didn't have cream of celery soup, so I substituted cream of chicken instead. I added one green bell pepper, diced, and one small onion diced to the rice mixture. I also added 1 minced garlic to the rice mixture. My family loved it. It was a great basic recipe that was easily changed to suit my family, thanks!

This is very quick to prepare. We cut the recipe in half. Rather than use ½ can of two kinds of soup, we only used the mushroom soup. Also, we added chopped celery and carrots. I would definitely add the fresh veggies next time, and maybe switch to brown rice.

I read some of the other comments, about being too bland, too dry, & too salty. So here's what I did: I had to use what I had available, so... I mixed the soups, added 1 small onion- chopped, 2 large fresh mushrooms-chopped, sprinkled in a little garlic powder (sorry, didn't measure) then I added 1 c. rice & 2c. milk. I put that in the pan. I added 1/4 bag of frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix and 1/4 bag of frozen red, yellow, & green peppers. I figured, as they "thawed", it would add extra moisture. I added the chicken breasts. I can't have salt, so I sprinkled the top with onion powder & pepper. After it baked a few minutes, I spooned the soup over the chicken breasts, to help keep it moist. The only problem there was the rice that landed on top of the chicken was a little crunchy! lol. Other than that, it was creamy & delicious! My husband, who doesn't like chicken breasts, went back for seconds and couldn't wait for me to heat it back up today! After dinner, I diced up the remaining chicken breasts and stirred it back in. It may have been a little better for the rice if I had used 2 1/2 c. of milk. To make this even easier, you could use left over chicken diced up, or even easier still, use canned chicken breast. Over all: my family loved this meal, it was creamy, healthy, delicious! I know I will be making this again!

Overall, this was a very good recipe. I pretty much stuck to the recipe, but I sauteed the chicken first, added fat free milk instead of water, and put about half of the onion mix into the rice mixture since previous reviews said it was too salty with the full packet. It came out creamy and delicious, my family really like it too. My only complaint was that it was a little bland, it needs a little "kick" from something, I'll have to experiment next time.

Quick Recipe, but would recommend adding milk and extra rice. Check about half way through cooking and add water if necessary. Even with the extra milk the rice mixture was drying out.
