Easy Oven Baked Chicken Supreme

Supreme in more ways than one. The creamy, mushroom-topped chicken bake is supremely delicious, but also supremely easy thanks to the simple addition of onion soup mix to cut down on ingredients.

ingredients
1/2 cup rice raw
1 package dry onion soup mix
4 pounds chicken, cut-up (skin removed if desired)
1 can (6 ounce size) sliced mushrooms
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of chicken soup
10 ounces milk
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the uncooked rice in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Evenly sprinkle half of the onion soup mix over the rice.
Place the chicken pieces on top of the rice. Evenly distribute the mushrooms around the chicken.
In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until blended. Pour evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix over everything.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
recipe tips
If desired, brown the chicken in a skillet before baking.
Add garlic powder or herbs like thyme or parsley to the soup mixture.
For a richer taste, substitute some of the milk with cream or sour cream.
If the rice is not fully cooked, add more liquid and continue baking.
Try adding cheese like cheddar or Parmesan for a cheesy twist.
To prevent the chicken from drying out, make sure it's covered with the soup mixture.
If there is too much liquid remaining, remove the foil and let the dish cook a bit longer.
You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a shorter cooking time. Bone-in chicken takes longer.
Use reduced/low sodium soup and soup mix if you want a lower sodium meal.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of rice?
Yes, but cooking times may vary. Brown rice, for instance, takes longer to cook. Adjust as needed (including adjusting liquid amounts).
What can I use instead of dry onion soup mix?
A mix of dried onion flakes, beef bouillon powder, and a pinch of onion powder can be used. Or, use another dry soup mix like a dry vegetable soup mix or dry chicken noodle soup mix.
Is there a substitute for cream of chicken soup?
Cream of mushroom or celery soup can be used as alternatives. Or, another cream soup (cream of broccoli would be delicious if your store carries it).
Can I make this dish without milk?
Milk adds creaminess, but you can use chicken broth or water for a lighter version.
What can I use instead of canned mushrooms?
Fresh sliced mushrooms can be used. Saute them first for added flavor.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can this dish be frozen?
Yes, it can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Can I use one type of chicken piece instead of a whole cut up chicken?
Yes, you can use all legs, thighs, etc. Just adjust the cooking time as needed to get the chicken to 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

I added chopped red pepper. Was very good. I will add a little more milk next time.

We had this today for lunch. Used Chicken Legs and Cream of Mushroom soup. I thought that 1/2 of a cup of rice might not be enough but I was wrong, you had it prefect.
Weâve made a baked chicken/rice dish thatâs very similar for most of my life. Itâs a favorite in the family. I would also double the rice!

This is without a doubt one of my favorite dishes! My mom would make it when growing up and I wanted to find the recipe, but coudn't get a hold of her and I found this! After I talked to her, the recipe is identical except she uses twice the rice! Highly recommend this EASY dish!
