Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  2. Using a Non-Stick Spray of your choice, coat a 9x13 casserole dish (a LIGHT rub of vegetable oil will work just as well).
  3. Place chicken breasts in dish, barely touching each other- Skin side UP.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup water, allowing it to go around each piece of chicken.
  5. Open 2 packets of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix, and sprinkle all over chicken, using the entire packages.
  6. Cover & seal casserole COMPLETELY with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake at 350° for 60 min or until chicken is tender and completely cooked, (180°when checked with thermometer){See Notes below}.

  15. ***NOTE***.
  16. This recipe was originally cooked in an electric skillet at 375° for 1 1/2 hours, with steam vent closed, and NO added water.
  17. It always came out moist w/ a fine gravy/sauce. I lost my electric skillet in a house fire, being on SS I never have the $ to get another I liked, so I changed the recipe for the oven. The difference in heat source I guess makes the need for added moisture.
  18. Adding the small amount of water makes a gravy/sauce that is super when served as suggested.
  19. There are many choices of Uncle Ben's Rice Recipes, choose the one you prefer. I like to add extra mushrooms, or other special touches such as parsley, and sometimes I just use a standard rice pilaf, with tiny chips of veggies.
  20. We never make any other side dishes, this is more than satisfying.
  21. Do not fuss over finger licking as people continue to pick every bite off the bones.
