No Peek Chicken
Here is another quick and easy recipe to keep on hand. I don't remember having it as a child but I do remember my mom giving it to me when I was working full time and looking for a quick meal to fix my family. This makes life so easy if you are like alot of us that purchase those big bags of chicken breasts. This one you can fix even when the chicken is frozen.
No Peek Chicken
1 Cup Rice
1 1/2 Cups Water
1 Package dry onion soup mix
1 Package chicken
1 Can cream mushroom soup
Mix 1/2 the onion soup mix rice, cream of mushroom soup and water together
add them to a 9" X 13" baking dish laying the chicken on top of the rice mixture. Take the other 1/2 of the soup mix and sprinkle it over the chicken. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake on 350 degrees for 1 to 1/12 hours depending on the size and amount of chicken.
This recipe is great because you can adapt it to your families taste. My husband loves onion so I put two packages of dry onion mix in. If you only have chicken parts you can use them. Or replace the long grain rice with brown rice or basmati rice. I just thought of couscous could even work. Replace the water with a stock or broth. Be creative!

I have a correction for this recipe I just learned from my sister. I visited Laurel the last week in October and when I arrived at her home after a long 12 hour drive she had dinner ready for myself and my daugher Corie. She said it was No Peek Chicken. After eating a few bites I noticed that her recipe had some creaminess to the consistancy. I asked her about it and she said its probably from the cream of mushroom soup in it. I then announced that I don't add cream of mushroom soup to my recipe. Apparently I copied the recipe wrong way back in 1996 and have been making it wrong all these years.
