I gave this recipe 3 stars because it is very quick and easy to make, but I found it very bland and flavorless. With modifications, it could be a great.

Whenever my family want something warm and comforting, I make this dish. I use chicken thighs, personal preference, I chop onions and garlic and fry those up then use the oil and drippings from the onions/garlic to brown the chicken before placing it in the baking dish with the rice mixture...I use garlic/onion powder...seasoning salt...cracked black pepper...this recipe can be as bland...or as seasoned as you like it......

I made this recipie and did not have the mushrooms to add, which was ok because of the cream of mushroom soup. I did, however add approximately 2 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, 1 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt and 1 tsp Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic instead of the "pinch" of garlic powder. I also sprinkled the seasoned bread crumbs on top before serving. My whole family, including my picky 8 year old LOVED THIS!

This was okay. If you're not into spices or bold flavor this would be a good recipe for you. It's what it says it is-chicken and rice. It was just too bland for me.

Great comfort food! This was easy and my husband loved it. I also loved it, but having so much salt just makes me a little cautious. Things I did differently: I baked it at 350 for 1 hour. I used instant rice, and it cooked through and was not crunchy. I added french fried onions and italian bread crumbs on top as a reviewer below suggested. I used 98% fat free cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups. I added a little more garlic powder. I only sprinkled a tad of the onion soup mix over the chicken. I also sprinkled a little cajun seasoninig. Next time, I think I am going to use 1 1/2 c. rice and 1 1/2 c. water because my only complaint is there wasn't enough rice. This makes a 9x13 dish and my husband and I ate it for dinner on Wednesday night and we finished off the leftovers on Thursday. I will definitely make this again.

I used low fat soups and fresh mushrooms in the base layer. I sprinkled the chicken with spices (to your tastes) and used french fried onions w/o the onion soup mix. I also sprinkled some italian bread crumbs and this recipe was amazing!!! It was so much better than I expected! Thank you! This went in to my "family cookbook" immediately.

I thought this actually turned out better than I expected. With just those couple of ingredients you would think it would be bland, but the chicken was very moist and the rice was also delicious.

This was really good and really easy. I only used 4 chicken breasts instead of 8 (they were big ones) and used broccoli instead of mushrooms. While this is very tasty and we WILL have it again, you should take note of how much salt is has. We were still drinking water well into the evening. IT's good, but beware!

I tried this for a potluck and after 2 hours the rice wasn't done and the taste was bad. We picked up KFC instead.

This came out better than I expected. I used brocolli cheese soup instead of celery soup and french's onions instead of onion soup mix. I sprinkled a little cayenne on the chicken pieces too. The key to cooking to rice all the way is to rinse it first.

This recipe is so easy and O so good. I used 98% fat free and low sodium soups and it came out great. Make sure to check the rice is done because my chicken was done but the rice needed to cook a little longer. The second time I made it with Jasmine Thai sticky rice and it came out awesome. Will certainly be making this one many more times. Its hard to find a lo-fat yummy recipe and this one most definitely fits the bill!

A little salty for my taste, but not bad. It's certainly quick and easy. I used Cream of Broccoli soup, which worked very well with a side dish of california blend vegetables. This could easily be adapted for any meat.

Very delicious and came together so fast! I added a bag of frozen veggies and should have then used a little less water. Excellent recipe and will be a family repeat!!

I thought this recipe was just OK for me. After all the time in the oven and the wonderful smell that filled my house I couldn't wait to eat it. To my disappointment the smell was far better than the actual taste and it was very mushy and heavy. Perhaps next time I will try to add something else to give it a bit more flavor.

This got a "Just OK" rating from my family. I think it was the onion soup on top that we didn't care for. If I made this recipe again, I would probably just add the French's Onions on top instead of the onion soup mix.

Quick, easy, and quite good. I don't make any changes to this recipe. I love the fact that it goes together 1-2-3, into the oven, and then can be ignored until it's time to eat. Great recipe, thank you!
