- One-pan wonder – Fewer dishes, more flavor!
- Creamy & comforting – The mushroom sauce coats every bite beautifully.
- Customizable – Add veggies, swap seasonings, or make it extra herby!

✅What You’ll Need
- Chicken breasts – Cut into strips for quick, even cooking. Swap: Chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- Onion & garlic – Adds depth and flavor. No fresh garlic? Use garlic powder instead.
- Mushrooms – Cremini, white button, or portobello all work well. Find them in the produce aisle.
- Jasmine rice – Light, fluffy, and absorbs all the flavors. Swap: Basmati or long-grain white rice, but adjust liquid if needed.
- Mushroom condensed soup – Makes the sauce rich and creamy. No mushroom soup? Try cream of chicken or cream of celery.
- Chicken broth – Keeps everything moist and flavorful. Swap: Vegetable broth for a lighter option.
- Fresh parsley or rosemary – Adds a bright, herby finish. No fresh herbs? Use dried, but reduce the amount by a third.

🔪How to Make Chicken and Rice with Cream of Mushroom Soup
Season & Sear – Coat the chicken in spices, then sear until golden brown.

Sauté the mushrooms & onions – Cook the mushrooms first for a deep, rich flavor, then add onions until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant.

Cook the rice – Add the rice, then pour in the broth and mushroom soup, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover.

Finish with chicken – Add the seared chicken back in during the last few minutes to keep it tender.
✨Substitutions and Variations
- Prefer dark meat? Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for even more juiciness.
- Want extra veggies? Toss in spinach, bell peppers, or peas before serving.
- No jasmine rice? Swap for basmati or long-grain white rice, but adjust the liquid as needed.
- Make it dairy-free by using a coconut milk-based mushroom soup alternative.

🍽️What to Serve With It
This dish is a meal on its own, but a side of Roasted Asparagus, Cheesy Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Cucumber and Tomato Salad pairs perfectly. You can also serve it with warm, buttery Naan Bread.
🗄️Leftovers and Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth or milk to keep it creamy. Freezing isn’t recommended, as the rice may become mushy.
