This takes no time to prepare, I have tryed this using different flavor soups, I find that cream of chicken and celery are the best, or use 2 cans cream of chicken, I also like to add the garlic powder and also a pinch of cayenne pepper to the soup mixture :)

EASY CHICKEN WITH RICE CASSEROLE
I haven't made this one yet but found it in an old Pillsbury book I have. Sounds really easy but needs quite a bit of cooking time so not good for a rushed dinner. It sounds yummy! (You can substitute any condensed cream soup in this recipe, try cream of mushroom or cream of broccoli). Note: recipe calls for bone-in, skin on chicken breasts.
