Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In the baking dish, combine the uncooked white rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Stir until well mixed.
Season the mixture lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture in a single layer.
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
Dust the top with paprika for added color and flavor.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring no steam can escape. This step is crucial for proper cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours without removing the foil or opening the oven—no peeking allowed!
After 2 hours, carefully remove the foil (watch for hot steam). Check to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, no-fuss meal!
