Chicken thighs and rice recipes with cream of mushroom soup

Oven Baked Chicken and Rice Casserole is an easy comfort food main dish. I make this rice dish with fresh bone in chicken parts, cream of chicken or mushroom soup and just a hint of onion powder. This recipe is kid-friendly and so good!

Is there anything more delicious and comforting for dinner than backed chicken and rice casserole? This recipe is a childhood favorite using my favorite brand of cream of chicken soup. I tossed out the red can many years ago for a nifty box! It has the same time saving benefits but just tastes better! If you just love traditional canned cream of mushroom soup, then heck, go ahead and use it! //louisvillemensclinic.com/the-mens-clinic-experience/
