Chicken Magic: Choosing the Right Ingredients
Let's start by gathering our star players: Knorr herb and butter rice, Bouillon chicken cubes, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheese, seasonings, and, of course, chicken. These ingredients are the heart and soul of my No Peek Chicken & Rice Casserole.
You can use whatever pre-seasoned rice packets you like.
Here are some other tasty options:
- Chicken-flavored rice
- Broccoli and cheddar-flavored rice
- Chicken and broccoli-flavored rice
Assembling Your Casserole
The assembly of our No Peek Chicken & Rice Casserole is a breeze, making it perfect for those days when you're short on time but still crave a home-cooked meal that wows.
Begin by spreading the Knorr herb and butter rice mix evenly on the bottom of the dish. Then pour the cream of chicken soup evenly over the rice. Fill the cream of chicken can up with water, add the bouillon cube, and pour into the dish. Mix it all together, then add the chicken on top. Season the chicken and cover it with cheese, then you are ready to cook!
Customize and Savor: Serving and Variations
Before you dig into the Best No Peek Chicken & Rice Casserole, let's talk about serving and how you can put your unique spin on this already fantastic dish.
When it comes to presentation, you can keep it simple and serve the casserole straight from the baking dish. It is truly a beautiful dish that doesn't need much fixing!
As far as side dishes go, a crisp green salad, steamed vegetables, or a crunchy baguette are perfect sides to balance out the richness of the casserole. Feel free to get creative with your sides to suit your taste!

- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Knorr's butter and herb rice
- Cream of chicken soup
- Water
- Chicken bullion cube
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Shredded Colby Jack cheese

Preheat your oven to 350 °F and spray your oven-safe 9×13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking oil of your choice. Add both packets of Knorr rice directly to the dish.
Add the cream of chicken soup to the baking dish. Fill up the empty can with water, crumble the bouillon cube into the water, mix, and add the water to the baking dish. Mix the cream of chicken soup, water, and rice together well.
Place the chicken breasts evenly on top of the rice mixture, and gently press the chicken down.
Season the chicken and top the dish with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle the dish with the cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until rice has absorbed all liquid. Make sure the chicken is cooked to 165°F. Top with parsley and serve.
I prefer to leave a little liquid at the top of the casserole, but you can cook until the liquid is absorbed if you prefer.
