1 rotisserie chicken (4 cups)
1 (10.75-oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75-oz) can cream of celery soup
1 (10.75-oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup water
1 cup milk
2 cups instant rice, uncooked
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (fresh or green can)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside. Remove skin from rotisserie chicken and discard. Remove chicken meat from bones and chop.

Pour into prepared pan. Top with grated parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken and rice from sticking.
  • Brown the chicken before adding it to the pot. This will help to seal in the juices and give the dish a richer flavor.
  • Use long-grain rice. This type of rice will stay separate and fluffy when cooked.
  • Add a flavorful liquid to the pot. This could be chicken broth, water, or even tomato juice.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is cooked through. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the dish look more appetizing.
