    Next Level French Onion Chicken

    This cheesy chicken and rice casserole takes less than 10 minutes to prep and is packed full of savory, rich, comfort food flavors! Dinner in 3, 2, 1 turns 3 today, and this is still one of my most popular recipes! If you haven’t already tried it, it’s will quickly become a family favorite!

    This is a picture of a chicken and rice casserole.

    When I was young, one of my favorite meals my mom made was No Peek Chicken, a one-pan entree that is quick to assemble and one of the best set-it-and-forget-it meals. One night when I made it for my family, after some dinner-talk around the table, I knew I could take this dish to the next level!

    Next Level French Onion Chicken adds a depth of flavor that is unmatched. The addition of French onion soup, cheese and crispy fried onions will leave the family asking “when are we having this again?”

    What You’ll Need

    • Yellow Onion
    • French Onion Soup
    • Broth
    • Long Grain Rice (see Tips and Substitutions below)
    • Butter
    • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs
    • Shredded Cheese
    • Lipton Onion Soup Mix
    • French’s Crispy Fried Onion

    Tools You’ll Need

    • 13”x9” Pan

    How to Make this Recipe

    1. To make this dish, you’ll only need 2 tools: a 13”x9” baking dish and a fork. That’s it. To the dish, whisk together sliced onion, French onion soup, broth and rice.
    1. Lay butter slices on top followed by the chicken. Sprinkle evenly cheese and onion soup mix on top.
    2. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the foil, evenly distribute the fried onion pieces and bake an additional 15 minutes.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • It is important that the pan is SECURELY covered with the foil. The steam must be captured in order for the rice to cook properly.
    • While it can be tempting to try different types of rice, be sure to take into account the liquid ratio and the baking time. From personal experience, I have NEVER had uncooked rice at the end of bake time following this exact recipe. Folks that have had uncooked rice, I recommend they trouble shoot these items:
      • Did you use any rice other than long-grain rinsed rice? If so, the cook time and liquid might need to be adjusted.
        • Brown Rice: needs 5-10 minutes more covered bake time
        • Minute Rice: needs 5-10 minutes less covered bake time
        • Short Grain: not recommended as it becomes too soft and mushy
        • Minute Rice: I have not made it with this rice, but I’ve been given feedback that it works great as well. My mom’s No Peek Chicken had minute rice and a similar baking time and temperature, so I would imagine it works just fine.
      • Did you cover the dish tightly? If not, there wasn’t enough steam to cook the rice properly.
      • Did you change any of the ingredients in the rest of the recipe? If you use less/more/different ingredients, I cannot guarantee the same result.
      • Why rinse the rice? Rinsing or washing rice removes that excess starch, resulting in grains that are more separate when cooked.
    • The rice can be decreased to 1 cup, if desired.
    • You can use boneless, skinless tenders as well. For the tenders, you’ll likely need 5-10 minutes less covered bake time.
    • You can assemble this dish up to a day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. You’ll need to allow the dish to sit at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
    • What to serve with this dish:
      • Glazed Carrots
      • Fresh/Canned Green Beans
      • Seared Asparagus
      • Side Salad
      • Steamed Broccoli
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’ll keep for 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it.
    • This dish can also be made in a Crockpot:
      • Lower the rice volume to 1 to 1 ¼ cups. Make sure to use rinsed long-grain white rice. Minute rice will be mushy. Other rice varieties might work, but I cannot speak to them.
      • Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix before sprinkling on the cheese.
      • Cook covered securely with the lid on HIGH for 2-3 hours. As seen in the video, the liquid will completely absorb and rice will be tender but not mushy. Slow cooker times/temps can vary. Use your judgement on your cooking model.
      • Sprinkle the Crispy Fried Onions on once the cook-time is complete.

      Such a delicious meal! Quick to make on those days you’re busy with work and kids. I did add a little heat to eat because we love spicy food. The kiddo asked me to make it again. This one is so easy to make even my son could make it he said.

      I quickly put this recipe together, and into the oven, following every single step written and it came out perfectly!! Everyone enjoyed it, and there was one serving left, and my daughter was thrilled that she was going to be able to take it to work the following day for lunch!
      This recipe will be incorporated into our meal rotation for sure! Highly recommend this recipe, and any others from this website. I have yet to be disappointed!! 💛

      This dish has a lot of flavor but it is way too oniony and salty! Next time I’ll cut down to half an onion and replace the canned onion soup with water.

      We loved this even if I did forget the packet of French Onion. I think next time I will skip the cheese. It was good but not needed. The rice cooked perfectly and fluffed up perfectly. The chicken was super moist. I will make this again!

      We're not rice people, but the flavor sounds awesome. Do you think I could substitute pasta and, if so, how much?

        I think the pasta would over cook, but then again, it might bake up fine. I'm not totally sure since I haven't tried it. You could prepare the meat and other ingredients by themselves and serve it over pasta. Since the rice thickens and soaks up the liquid, it will be on the thinner side, so maybe whisking in some flour would be a good idea too.

      We had high hopes and expectations for this recipe but unfortunately we didn’t care for it and we are onion lovers. For one thing the rice needed salt and probably pepper. Even though I used 1 full cup of long grain white rice that I rinsed several times it still had a gummy texture You would think there would be enough salt in the soups but no, it wasn’t enough. The chicken, well, it tasted like chicken. I cut two breasts in half horizontally and half again vertically because they were large and I wanted to make sure the seasoning would get through them, I also added two boneless skinless thighs because that’s my preference. They should have been marinated. The cheese didn’t seem to lend any flavor and I used Italian cheese hoping for more flavor. I baked it in a stainless steel skillet with a tight lid instead of a 9x13 dish. It sure sounded good and we like every ingredient but it just didn’t hit the make for us. Glad others enjoyed it.

        Thank you for making it and for the review! It’s been the one of the most popular and liked recipes to-date for Dinner in 321. I always value the time someone takes to make my recipes and share their experiences. As with any recipe, salt and flavor profiles can vary from person to person, and the way we make it is how my family likes it. Some folks argue that it’s WAY to salty…there’s just no way to make it perfectly balanced for everyone. When I make a recipe with the outcome you had, I learn and know how to adjust it to my liking for the next go-around. I hope future recipes better reach your expectations.😊
