Step 2: Mix the Rice Base: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, the 1 can of cream of chicken soup, the 1 can of water, and the 2 cups of Minute rice. Mix until the soups are smooth and the rice is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Assemble: Pour the rice and soup mixture into your buttered baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer. Place the 1 lb of chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
Step 4: Season: Open the 1 envelope of Lipton onion soup mix and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the chicken breasts. This provides most of the seasoning and a beautiful golden color as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake: Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. This is crucial to trap the steam needed to cook the rice. Bake for 1/1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 6: Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving to let the rice finish absorbing any remaining liquid.
