Just assemble the ingredients in a foil-lined pan, cover, and let the oven do the work. The result is tender, juicy chicken with a light, creamy sauce coating the rice and veggies. ItâÂÂs a satisfying, home-style meal that delivers maximum flavor with minimum effort, making it a reliable favorite for solo dining or quick lunches.

Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Line a small baking pan (approximately 7x11 inches) with aluminum foil, allowing extra foil to hang over the edges for easy cleanup, and place a double layer of foil at the bottom.

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breast on one side of the prepared pan.

Pour the uncooked converted rice onto the other side of the pan.
-
Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the rice.
-
Spoon the cream soup over both the chicken and the vegetable-rice mixture.
-
Pour the water over all ingredients in the pan to create the cooking liquid.
-
Cover the pan tightly with additional aluminum foil to seal in moisture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
-
Carefully remove the foil and check that the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.
-
Transfer the chicken, rice, and vegetables to a plate.
-
Lift out the foil lining and discard it to save on washing dishes.
