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.

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.

Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Sprinkle the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix evenly over the chicken.

Cover with aluminum foil.

Simple Tip!

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.

Top with chives (if using) and serve.
