What’s for dinner? No Peek Chicken Rice Recipe! It’s a one-dish, quickly prepped, put-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-it recipe that’s out-of-this-world delicious too!
First of all, this No Peek Chicken Rice Recipe is perfect for weeknights and faster than takeout. It literally took me about 3 minutes to prep this recipe. It took longer for my oven to preheat than it did to mix all the ingredients together.
In addition, you do have a long cook time, but it is all hands-off. In 75 minutes your have a complete and nutritious meal for you family.
The chicken turns out tender and juicy in this No Peek Chicken Rice Recipe. You can literally cut it with a fork. The rice is fluffy with great flavor from the soups and seasonings. the Montreal Chicken Seasoning has garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, pepper and parika. It also has red pepper that adds a little heat and perks up the ingredients nicely.
No Peek Chicken Rice Recipe
- You can use chicken breast or chicken tenders for this recipe.
- Sometimes I add a small can of mushrooms to change it up.
- You can also melt cheddar cheese over it. For this addition, take the foil off the last 5 minutes, add 1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven. Cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Additionally, you can use one box of Uncle Ben’s original recipe rice instead of the white rice. If you use this, omit the Montreal Chicken seasoning. Personally, I prefer white rice as the recipe indicates.
- If you can’t find the Montreal chicken seasoning mix, you can make it. I have included the recipe in the notes of the printable recipe below. Furthermore, you can use your favorite chicken seasoning if you prefer.

If you make the roux, do you still need to add 1 โcanโ of water?
Probably, it’s hard to know without being there, but the rice needs a good bit of liquid
Can I use frozen chicken or do I need to thaw out?
They need to thawed.
has anyone ever made this with ben original READY RICE long grain?
Thank you for posting! I was looking for a recipe to duplicate what I made when the kids were little and we were on a budget. We no longer are but loved the recipe. This nailed it! The only changes I made were using jasmine rice and 1 soup can of chicken broth and 3/4 soup can of milk. Baked at 350 degrees for 1hour and 20 minutes! The chicken was perfect and the rice amazingly creamy and wonderful!! A wonderful Midwestern winter night meal!!
Made this tonight for dinner. Delicious! Used the canned soup alternative plus one cup of water (and a homemade onion soup mix) and it turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
