Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make No-Peek Chicken Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine uncooked rice, water, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, onion soup mix, and a sprinkle of oregano.
Step 4
Stir everything together until it’s well blended and the ingredients are happily mingling.
Step 5
Next, pour this flavorful rice mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
Step 6
Now, take your seasoned chicken thighs and sprinkle them with a bit of seasoned salt before placing them right on top of the rice mixture.
Step 7
This will allow the chicken to infuse its delicious flavor into the dish as it cooks.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing in all the steam and flavors for a delightful bake.
Step 9
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it work its magic for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Step 10
To ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Once done, you’ll have a comforting, hearty meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table! Enjoy the wonderful aromas filling your kitchen as you prepare to serve this delicious dish.
