This Chicken Recipe Should Win An Award!
Okay, so I am a little confused. The name of this dish is “forgotten chicken,” right? My issue is, how in the world could anyone ever forget this chicken!? It is so sumptuous! I prepared this meal the other day and I swear, I can still smell the aroma of it cooking in my nostrils. It is seriously some great food. The meat is cooked to perfection and slightly browned on top for a crisp finish. Mmmm, now doesn’t that sound delish? My entire family enjoying this Forgotten chicken meal and I’m pretty sure they haven’t forgotten it yet either.
I am not sure who came up with the name for this chicken dish or why, but you know what? They were wrong! There is no way that anyone could ever forget about this glorious chicken. It is just too dang good. I will definitely be making this again!
Oh, and before I forget, this meal is the perfect dish to pass at a potluck supper. Everyone loves it and the food is super filling and good. Try it the next time you need to cook for a crowd.

do you think this Forgotten Chicken could be cooked in a slow cooker?
I would do it in a crockpot for 4 hours.
Absolutely! I cook whole chickens in my slow cooker…but dont expect a brown crust
I used to make this many years ago when my kids were home. They loved it. I been thinking about this .Will make this soon like this week/ Thanks for the yummy recipes.
I won’t buy Tyson chicken since it’s processed in China. I’m sure any other chicken will be fine.
You better check where Tysons plants are, I know of 3 in Texas,
You are likely right about the Tyson plants in Texas, but, meat processing plants are sending live chickens to China to be processed, and then it is returned to the U.S. for packaging….. scares me……knowing what China is capable of.
I’m with you. A most stupid idea that should be stopped!
Sorry, but most of those live chickens are hatched, raised, and processed in Wilkes County NC and in Arkansas. Not sure where you’re getting your information.
Oh, and Texas too!
Snopes investigated the rumor about Tyson sending chickens to China to be processed. They found the rumor to be false and finds no evidence that any other company is doing it, either. These rumors are easily investigated online before you libel a company like Tyson.
My husband didn’t work for Tyson directly, he did drive for a truck company and was contracted to haul Tyson only. I can guarantee you Tyson processes their chicken products here, I’ve been to all their plants in every state over the years. Just as a side note, check the sodium of the chicken breasts you’re buying for this recipe. We had to for health reasons for my husband and Tyson was way lower in sodium, like over 200mg lower.
This is a great recipe but I prefer milk or cream in place of water. It makes the dish much tastier. You can also used dried onions instead of onion soup and it is still great.
That’s more than 2 ingredients
Fake news!
The 2 Ingredient Chicken Recipe was the one before this one!! Chicken and salt!!
Lol
LOVE LOVE LOVE So easy My sister in law gave me this years ago & she called it no peek chicken. The name has evolved to peek a boo chicken in my house. I also use milk in place of water & the brown rice uncle bens. Is great also
The recipe i had for this meal was a bit different. I used one whole cut up chicken or just thighs (bone in), 2 cans of French onion soup that would be poured over the 2 cups of converted rice, then the layer of chicken on top, then 1 can of cream of mushroom soup thinned out hust enough with milk then spooned over that making sure it kind of hits the rice too. Baking it for at least an hour making sure the chicken is done. It makes really tasty rice. I love eating it fresh cooked frozen green peas (no can veggies yuck)
Typo: “just” not “hust”
Wish there was a way to print those recipie S!
Try opening the page in Chrome… Then saving it….
All processed foods in this recipe. Not a good idea!
THANK YOU!….I use to make this for my family years ago; we ALL loved it. I would like to duplicate this ol standby but with HEALTHY UNPROCESSED ingredients. Think we could put our heads together and come up with a much healthier version?????

What size cabs of soup do you use for this?
I use Uncle Ben’s wild rice mix instead of minute rice. Pork chops are also good.
I live near a Tyson chicken plant. Several friends work in the processing plant and I have friends who are farmers who raise chickens for Tyson. I seriously doubt that the chicken I get would come from China. That would be a stupid, costly business move
Other than the chicken, this recipe is processed crap. Minute Rice? Canned soup? Packets of onion soup mix?
Ugh. No thanks. This is for people who don’t know how to cook a proper meal with real ingredients. And its not the time factor. You can cook excellent, actual homemade meals with real onions, seasonings, mushrooms, and a roux made with flour, milk and butter instead of canned soup. Takes little extra time.
This recipe is no better than getting McDonald’s and might have more calories.
Very simple solution, Dawn: Don’t make it 🙂 Have a good day!
Exactly!
Post it with a better one then!
I say “thank you” to the person who posted it.
I give alternatives to recipes most times. Usually I tell people to cut out the salt or reduce the amount.
I agree , Ms. Dawn –
I am going to make this using an alternative to cream soups * a roux as you mentioned. Organic dried onions, instead of the salty, Lipton soup mix.
*In a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
Slowly stir in chicken broth, then milk. Whisk until it begins to thicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
I like these recipe ideas and make substitutions, as desired.
Forgotten chicken probably refers to left over chicken that was remembered in time to make this meal. Looks delish!
For those of you complaining about processed food why are you not on a paleo site and cook the you want too but don’t come to a regular food site putting down what others enjoy! They go by headings so go to Paleo
Do you think I could use regular white rice as opposed to minute rice?
Yes, you can use regular white rice!!
Seriously folks, it is not hard to “natural up” this recipe. You can buy Pacific brand cream of soups which are organic, you can par boil regular rice, you can use dried onion flakes. Stop yer whining.
