tephraJust sticking this here so if I forget the proportions again I won't have to wait for Campbell's site to load. :P
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup water *
3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Mix soup, water, rice, paprika and black pepper in 2-qt. shallow baking dish. Top with chicken. Season with additional paprika and pepper. Cover.
Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes or until done.
For creamier rice, increase water to 1 1/3 cups.
I sometimes add some canned mushrooms. I'd try fresh but they'd add so much liquid I'd have to recalibrate the recipe.
I used to do this a lot in grad school. And when I was working in Tucson and had a Trader Joe's nearby I would make this without the chicken (basically baked mushroom pseudo-risotto) and have it with roasted duck breast1 and a vegetable (usually beets.)
1. Trader Joe's would have boneless Muscovy duck breast for about $7.50. Since one breast would make two meals for a single person with ease, I would indulge myself with duck perhaps a bit too often.

richard doesn't like mushrooms, so i'd have to use a different soup if we were eating together. and i LOVE mushrooms. so he loses, lol.

It's very adaptable. I'll probably try it with cream of asparagus (maybe with some canned asparagus in it) and chicken or shrimp at some point.
If I play with it a bit I can probably figure out how to do it with brown or red rice, but that will take both more liquid and a longer cooking time I think.
