No-Peek Chicken Recipe

Sometimes I’m in the mood to whip up a homemade feast, and sometimes I’m in the mood to dump some things in a dish, bake it, and call it a day. When you’re in the latter mood (it happens a lot, doesn’t it?), no-peek chicken is the solution. 

With the help of some clever pantry items, you can have creamy, flavorful chicken and rice with almost no effort. While the one-dish meal bakes, you’re free to do some laundry, help the kids with homework, or just lay back with a glass of wine.

Why Is It Called No-Peek Chicken?

The playful name comes from the set-it-and-forget-it nature of this dish. You add all of the ingredients to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake. No peeking! This helps ensure the rice cooks through and the chicken is moist. The creamy soups make it luxurious and the onion soup mix adds lots of savory, oniony flavor.

Tips and Clever Swaps

• Make sure you’re using quick-cooking rice, such as Minute Rice. This ensures the rice will cook through without drying out the chicken breasts.
• Frozen veggies make this dish super convenient, but you can swap them for small-diced fresh carrots and fresh peas or even diced broccoli.
• Swap the frozen vegetables for another variety, like frozen broccoli or frozen diced peppers.
• Change out the soups for other cream soups, like cream of mushroom, for a different flavor.
