I hesitate to even rate this since I changed it so much. I wanted to make it a little healthier so I used low fat, low sodium soups, brown rice, and used only about 1/3 of the onion soup mix. I also omitted the water completely and used 1 1/2 cups skim milk. I added about 1/2 the package of onion soup into the soup/rice mixture and then sprinkled a couple of teaspoons on top. I also used skinless drumsticks. I covered very tightly and baked for about 1 hour and 40 minutes than removed and let sit for another 10 minutes before removing the foil. The flavor was very good and not the least bit salty. And the nutty flavor of the brown rice with the soup mixture was very good. The chicken fell apart so I just mixed it all up before serving. However, like almost everyone else my rice was not cooked properly. I even used a heavy pampered chef 9x13 casserole dish and a convection oven to assure even baking. Ended up sprinkling some water over it and microwaving it for a couple of minutes to soften up the rice a little. It ended up pretty good but wish I could figure out how to fix the rice issue. You really aren't supposed to take the cover off while cooking rice but maybe stirring occassionally is the answer. I might try it next time.
