  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup, unsalted
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, unsalted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Remove skin from the rotisserie chicken and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken with the three cream soups, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the water and milk, stirring until well combined.
  4. Stir in the uncooked instant rice, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese generously over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes until edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use unsalted or low-sodium cream soups. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
