Mushroom Chicken Foil Packets Recipe
Mushroom Chicken Foil Packs are an easy dinner that cleans up after itself. Chicken and rice with peas and mushrooms are a well rounded meal cooked in a foil packet!
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 343kcal
Cost: 15
Ingredients
- 1 8.8 ounces/250g pack Ready Rice Brown or White rice (or 2 cups cooked rice)
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
- 1 10.75 ounces/298g can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I used 98% fat free)
- ¼ cup water
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay out 6 sheets of heavy-duty foil (or do double sheets if you are using regular foil).
- Place ⅓ cup of rice in the center of each foil sheet.
- Cut your chicken breasts into 6 equal size pieces, about 1/2” thick. Place one piece on top of the rice on each foil sheet.
- Stir together soup and water in a small bowl.
- Evenly divide the mushroom and peas over the top of each chicken breast. Top each with soup mix (about 2-3 tablespoons each packet).
- Bring up foil sides. Double-fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation. Place packets in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (170°F). Remove packets from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Serve one packet per person. Carefully cut open packet to release steam before opening.
Notes
- Skip the rice-making step and buy a bag of premade rice. It will taste just like freshly cooked rice because of the mushroom sauce.
- Make sure your chicken is cut into equal pieces so it can cook evenly.
- I prefer using heavy duty aluminum foil, or you can wrap it in two layers, just so you don't have any mess.
- Always cook chicken breasts to 165°F.
